Juanes Appears on “Día de Luz,” First Single From Posthumous Album by Pablo Milanés

Juanes is seeing new light

The 50-year-old Colombian Grammy– and Latin Grammy-winning singer appears on “Día de Luz,” the first single from the posthumous album by renowned singer-songwriter Pablo Milanés.

JuanesMilanes passed away in November 2022, a few months after celebrating his 80th birthday and launching the project.

The album, which will be released on May 26 under the Universal Music Spain label, is called “Amor y Salsa – 80 Aniversario” and will have collaborations with various Latin artists as a tribute to the legacy of the Cuban troubadour.

For this first song, Milanés joins the unmistakable voice of Juanes to create a pleasant traditional Cuban Son that speaks of a lover’s desire to safeguard the harmony of their relationship in the face of the uncertainty of what may be in the outside world. Juanes’ airy voice creates a refreshing contrast to the Milanés maestro’s age-old tone, as they are harmoniously interrupted by a trumpet that carries its melody as a third voice throughout the song.

“May the night envelop you, and may you sleep peacefully. I will watch over your dreams while waiting, perhaps, for another cruel and uncertain day” they express in unison.
