The Fotografías Tour is a limited run of five U.S. tour dates and includes Orlando’s Kia Center on Saturday, May 17. Tickets go on sale the general public on Thursday, February 13 at 10 a.m. ET.

The fan club pre-sale for El Barrio members begins Wednesday, February 12 at 10 a.m. ET and ends Thursday, February 13 at 9 a.m. ET. Additional pre-sales including Kia Center, Loud And Live, radio partners and Ticketmaster run concurrently with the fan club pre-sale.

“We are thrilled and deeply honored to announce Rubén Blades' U.S. tour,” said Nelson Albareda, CEO and founder of Loud And Live. “Having the opportunity to share his music, talent and legacy with audiences again is a privilege for our company. This tour will be another celebration of his extraordinary career.”

Blades will delight audiences with an exquisitely curated repertoire featuring songs from his new album “Fotografías” and Spanish music classics such as “Pedro Navaja,” “Decisiones” and “Amor y Control,” among others.

The album, “Fotografías,” continues Blades' collaboration with Roberto Delgado and la Orquesta de Panama. “The band demonstrates its versatility by performing in various formats: two trumpets, three trombones, orchestra and big band,” said Blades. It includes new songs like “Fotografías,” “Emigrantes” and “Hoy por ti,” as well as songs written by Blades, but recorded by other artists throughout his 50-plus-year artistic career.
