There IS an accent in Rubén. If you go to his official Web site - see link at bottom of article - you'll see there is none when his name is in all caps, like on the home page. This is normal in Spanish where accents are often ignored when writing in all caps. But if you go into sections on his site where there is written text, like the "Historia" section, you'll see that there IS an accent. If you want to get technical, in Spanish any word ending in vowel-N or vowel-S whose spoken emphasis falls on the last syllable takes an accent on that syllable. They may not always bother write it, but a correct writer will. Mona-Lynn 05:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rubén/Ruben

Mona, you are right about the accent rules in spanish, but actually in Uruguay we call him Ruben. --Ernalve 17:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
