Less than a week before his "Peace Without Borders" concert in Havana, Colombian rocker Juanes and his wife, Karen, welcomed their first son over the weekend.

The singer announced on his Twitter page Saturday that his wife had given birth to the couple's third child, a boy, Dante, in Miami.

Juanes, 37, posted in Spanish: "Dante was born very well, healthy and beautiful! Thank God for this blessing!"

Juanes posted on his Twitter page Monday that the newborn and mother were doing well. His publicist in New York did not respond to a request for additional details.

The concert in Havana will be Sept. 20. It has drawn criticism in the Cuban-American exile community, where many complain Juanes is endorsing the island's communist system, although the organizers insist the show has no ideological overtones.
