Havana - The announcement of a possible concert in Cuba by Spanish singer Raphael on next October 20 hit the headlines in both domestic and foreign digital media.

Although the Cuban Institute of Music has not confirmed the news, it is estimated that the interpreter of the popular songs "Yo soy aquel" and "Cierro mis ojos" will arrive in Havana with the support of the Malaga company Galas Metropolitanas.

After making the announcement about the concert in Marbella, the music producer responsible for the company, Julio Gutierrez, said that the concert would be an important musical event and added that Julio Iglesias could be the next Spanish singer to perform in Cuba.

According to Gutierrez, this concert by Raphael would be as significant for Spaniards as the Rolling Stones concert was for Britons: we have been working five years for achieving this, he said.

Raphael has recorded duets with important international singers, like Tom Jones, Charles Aznavour and Paul Anka, among others.

Raphael is also an actor and has participated in more than 10 films, including Mi gran noche (2015), the film which opened the 33rd Miami International Film Festival, held from March 4 to 13.
