His name is Silvio Rodríguez and he's a famous Cuban musician.

From Wikipedia:

He is known for his highly eloquent and symbolic lyrics. Many of his songs have become classics in Latin American music, such as Ojalá, Playa Girón, Unicornio and La maza. Rodríguez, musically and politically, is a symbol of the Latin American left. Several of his songs praise the revolutionary figure Che Guevara (and he is also currently a deputy in the Cuban parliament). His lyrics, however, are unusual on the left for being notably introspective. His songs combine romanticism, love (even eroticism), revolutionary politics, and idealism.
