- <p> Singer Ruben Blades has conquered the Spanish-speaking
- world with his mix of salsa and social consciousness, and won
- over the rest of the globe with his movie roles. Now Blades
- faces the toughest audience yet--his native Panama, where last
- month Blades began investigating a possible run for the
- Panamanian presidency. While not formally declared, the
- Harvard-trained lawyer surely notices the piddling popularity
- of current President Guillermo Endara. Presidente Blades might
- not be music to the ears of the U.S. State Department, however.
- His song Tiburon compares interlopers in Latin America to a
- marauding shark.
