Pablo Milanez net worth
Pablo Milanes Net Worth: Pablo Milanés is a Cuban singer/songwriter and guitarist who has a net worth of $500,000. Pablo Milanes Arias (aka Pablo Milanes) was born on February 24, 1943 in Bayamo, Cuba. He is a pianist and guitarist whose Brazilian-style melodies set him apart.
Along with Silvio Rodriguez, Pablo Milanés was one of the key figures in the Cuban neo-pop song movement of the late 60s. Under the auspices of Fidel Castro’s government, the collective of nueva trova musicians is primarily responsible for reconfiguring and updating traditional Cuban folk music for the country’s new, modern, post-revolutionary society. Known for his highly poetic lyrics and smooth and moving vocals, Milanez became one of the most popular and respected Cuban musicians and songwriters of his era, releasing numerous recordings. Milanez studied at a music conservatory in Havana and became a controversial figure – despised for his staunch support for Castro and criticized for the sentimental, orchestrated jazz-pop he represented genre – but his status as one of the most important links between traditional and contemporary Cuban music is so far almost unrivaled. He also held official positions in Cuba, but has since reportedly avoided participating in pro-government movements. On January 25, 2007, Milanes signed a petition supporting Puerto Rico’s independence from the United States of America.
