From Times Wire Reports
Salsa king Ruben Blades was named Panama’s tourism minister. Blades, who failed in a presidential bid a decade ago, is a friend of President-elect Martin Torrijos and was a driving force in his political campaign.
“I’m not thinking about what I am going to do in five years or if I am going to return to doing shows,” said the singer and actor. “I’m just thinking that Panama is going to have much stronger tourism than now.”
