Puerto Rican singer-songwriter and guitarist Tito Auger will open the show.

“We are enormously honored to welcome Silvio Rodríguez to SummerStage,” said Heather Lubov, Executive Director of City Parks Foundation. “SummerStage is about bringing the best of the world’s artists to a New York audience. Rodriguez is one of Latin America’s greatest singers and composers and we are proud to offer New Yorkers a rare opportunity to see him perform on our stage, under the stars.”

The iconic poet and guitarist will perform songs from his latest album, Amoríos(2015), alongside his classic hits. He will be accompanied by Rachid López (guitar), Maikel Elizarde (tres), Niurka González (flutist and clarinetist), Oliver Valdés (drummer and percussionist), Jorge Reyes (double bassist), Jorge Aragón (pianist), and Emilio Vega (vibraphonist).
