"The goal was to show that repentismo is done in person, because the stage of the pandemic covid-19 moved the projects to the online spectrum, with greater emphasis on social networks. We put soul, heart, and life into safeguarding the customs of our fields", acknowledged Samuel Martell Pérez, leader of the event.

The participation of interpreters from the municipality harmonized the guateque, while the "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes" library exhibited some books related to the themes of the day.
