Back in Action

Haven't posted in a while but wanted to let folks know about a regular video podcast that I've been tuning in to, "show de Ruben Blades" at rubenblades.com or available at iTunes.I've loved Ruben's music for ages, even though my knowledge of Spanish is less than limited. His podcast is done in Spanish with English subtitles (sometimes he moves effortlessly into English). He talks, answers questions, sings, and most importantly, introduces musics by new artists from around the world.For anyone with an interest in salsa and world music, I recommend it highly. Ruben is currently serving as Panama's Minister of Tourism so this is the closest we get to seeing him perform. Check it out. Here he is performing an acoustic version of "Pablo Pueblo."
