Artists from various expressions performed in the opening gala of the programmed activities on the occasion of Cuban Culture Day, which is celebrated on October 20.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- As usual, many events will commemorate -in Las Tunas and throughout Cuba- the historic date when Perucho Figueredo, astride his horse, wrote the lyrics of the Bayamo Anthem on October 20, 1968. A new day to reaffirm that Cuban-ness feeling, the deep roots of creole identity, formed all through a rich history of struggles for national sovereignty.
