Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez (born 29 November 1946) is a Cuban musician, and leader of the nueva trova movement. He is widely considered Cuba's best folk singer and arguably one of Latin America's greatest singer-songwriters.
Known for his intellectual, highly eloquent and symbolic lyrics, his songs are iconic elements of Latin American left-leaning intellectual culture.
Many of his songs have become classics in Latin American music, such as "Ojalá", "Playa Girón", "Unicornio" and "La maza".
Among his other well-known songs are "Fusil contra fusil" and "Canción del Elegido".
He has released over 20 albums. Rodríguez, musically and politically, is a symbol of the Latin American left.
His lyrics are notably introspective, while his songs combine romanticism, eroticism, existentialism, revolutionary politics and idealism.
As a humanist, his songs often bespeak a secular worldview, where humanity must make the best of this world.
He has been referred to as "Cuba's John Lennon."
