Rubén Blades’s work, as will anyone who saw the X-Files episode “El Mundo Gira”. Those with slightly longer memories may recall his role in Spike Lee’s
Mo’ Better Blues. Blades is, of course, both actor and musician. He made an album (
Siembra, 1978) with Willie Colon that sold 25 million copies and became the best-selling salsa release in history. Obviously none of this keeps him busy enough, so in 1994 he stood for the Presidency of Panama, winning 17% of the vote.
Blades has written or co-written about half of the tunes on this new album, which at a rough calculation seems to be his 38th as leader.

Well, things haven’t turned out as planned.
A groin injury limited Mosley to two games in 2019, and then he opted out of last season, due to coronavirus concerns.

That could serve him just fine in the NFL.
Or it could bite him, especially in the unforgiving New York/New Jersey market.
Former Jets offensive guard Willie Colon knows this market well. And he has some words of warning for Wilson, whom the Jets just picked second overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.

The paths of big-band Afro-Cuban music and big-band American jazz have run parallel and intersected over the decades and now Ruben Blades adds a new chapter to this swinging history.
A native of Panama, Blades has a firm place in the pantheon of Latin music and culture. First, he was a principle in the 1978 landmark best-selling album
Siembra with Willie Colon, which set a high-water mark for politically conscious music in the dance-oriented genre. Since then, Blades has also had a successful career as an actor (most recently fighting zombies on AMC’s
Fear the Walking Dead) and as an activist (unsuccessfully running for president of Panama in 1994 and subsequently serving five years as Panama’s minister of tourism).
