By Elis T. Ortiz

Yesterday (August 9), Guatemala’s prized singer songwriter Ricardo Arjona released the first
single from his upcoming new album due out on August 24, Poquita Ropa. The single titled
simply “Puente” is an evocative sample of what’s to come from the talented artist on this new
project.

La canción empieza como una balada, with soft yet urgent lyrics over piano calling out to
Havana, Cuba. Arjona le canta a ese lugar que solo queda a 90 millas de los estados unidos,
but seems so far to the families who cannot reunite with their loved ones. The music picks up
tempo con ritmo caribeño, and he sings for a bridge that would reconnect los cubanos de
Miami with their cousins on the island.

The music video for “Puente” was filmed in Mexico and Argentina, directed by Joaquín Cambre,
quien ya ha trabajado con Arjona para su vidéo “Sin Ti, Sin Mi.” It’s scheduled to premiere on
August 17th, so all you Arjona fans, look out for that!

El guapo guatemalteco Ricardo Arjona will be headed to Cuba in January 2010 to present a concert to the people of La Habana. His publicist nos asegura that this isn't another peace concert, and it has no political agenda. It's simply a place that Ricardo has always wanted to perform.

We're sure his Cuban band mates are as excited as los cubanos en la isla.

Que lo disfrutes Ricardo! [MSN Latino]

We dropped Ricardo Arjona's official dates for his U.S. tour yesterday...

But now "5to. Piso" fans can hear all of the 411 from the master lyricist's himself. Ricardo exclusively spoke to MTV Tr3s about his musical muses and passion for social issues. Just don't dare pigeon hole the Grammy-winner into the romantic singer category. The "No Me Importa Nada" star rather consider himself a free realist. Check out our exclusive interview and his shout-out to loyal fans aquí!
