The event was held at the Rubén Martínez Villena Provincial Library and after its inauguration gave way to the Dynamics of Cuban Trova panel, made up of the well-known troubadour Eduardo Sosa, Juan Eduardo Bernal and the musician and researcher Carlos Manuel Borroto.
Bernal, president of the Sancti Spiritus branch of the José Martí Cultural Society, told the press that “trova is something necessary and important, especially because it is the essence of the Cuban spirit, in it are our joys and sorrows.”
“There is the epic and the lyrical and what the Cuban can never lack, which is the willingness to always believe, it is an affirmation of the past and a security for the future,” he stated.
“Choosing this first moment to talk about the trova is an act of justice, because the trova must always be remembered, because it is one of the components of the Cuban so that memory never fails us,” concluded the prominent intellectual from Sancti Spiritus.
This Monday, the personal exhibition Sueños Yayaberos, by the renowned photographer and journalist Raúl García (Garal) was inaugurated in the Fayad Jamís Room of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (Uneac) in the province.
