Ruben Blades released a new cd on August 15, 2009; entitled "Cantares del Subdesarrollo", wich contains 11 tracks. The lyrics of the songs are very interesting. For example, we can mention the song "Segunda Mitad del Noveno". This one try to explain that in the life we always going to find moments or obtacles that we have to overcome. Also, the life give you a lot of ways that you can choose or decide of one of this. Moreover, you can not depend of a person or wait for anybody to decide what do you going to do. In that moment there are many feelings with you have to fight but you can't leave that they be stronger than you, and they can't decide for you. One of the things that makes most interesting this song is that he compares with a Baseball game, and shows the differents difficulties that appears during the game, especially in the end of this one, and all the things that pass in this moment. This allows us to see more clearly how people live day to day and always have many paths we can choose to overcome. In conclusion, one of the messages that this album wants to leave is that we never can surrender to a problem, no matter how difficult it is and under what circumstances the problem comes, we always have to fight to get whatever we want.
