Du côté de sa mère, sa grand-mère était de Galice, son grand-père colombien et du côté de son père, ses grands-parents sont anglais. Durant son adolescence, sa famille était relativement pauvre et il y avait aussi des troubles politiques au Panama, particulièrement au sujet du canal de Panama et des relations avec les États-Unis. Il avait grandi avec la culture américaine et le rock 'n' roll. Mais en 1964, 21 civils ont été tués et des centaines blessés dans des émeutes étudiantes, par des soldats américains, quand les étudiants ont essayé de hisser le drapeau du Panama à côté de celui des États-Unis au lycée Balboa. Cet événement traumatisant pour la nation a profondément influencé Rubén Blades et lui a ouvert les yeux.

Product Description
The Debs Case arose over a speech made by Debs in Canton, Ohio, June 16th, 1918. The speech was made before the State Socialist Convention, where Debs was talking to his comrades in the Socialist movement. The main parts of this speech, as printed in the indictment under which Debs was convicted, are as follows:

"I have just returned from a visit from yonder (pointing to workhouse) were three of our most loyal comrades are paying the penalty for their devotion to the cause of the working class. They have come to realize, as many of us have, that it is extremely dangerous to exercise the constitutional right of free speech in a country fighting to make democracy safe for the world. I realize in speaking to you this afternoon that there are certain limitations placed upon the right of free speech. I must be extremely careful, prudent, as to what I say, and even more careful and prudent as to how I say it. I may not be able to say all I think, but I am not going to say anything I do not think. And I would rather a thousand times be a free soul in jail than a sycophant or coward on the streets. They may put those boys in jail and some of the rest of us in jail, but they cannot put the Socialist movement in jail. Those prison bars separate their bodies from ours, but their souls are here this afternoon. They are simply paying the penalty that all men have paid in all of the ages of history for standing erect and seeking to pave the way for better conditions for mankind.
