Camagüey.- La Décima Campesina and the Cuban punto are an expression of identity and heritage and according to musicologists, like almost all Cuban music that draws on European and African elements, this genre is based on its Hispanic antecedents.
In Camagüey there is a long tradition of this genre and poetic expression that is growing more and more, as new exponents emerge every day guided by their teachers, those great decimists whose names are synonymous with identity and autochthony, Nelson Lima, Héctor Peláez and Eneida Sosa.
It is in different spaces that this art grows, one of them the Peña Gabriel Llanes in Memorian, which takes place every month at the Ateneo-Vietnam Librería Cultural Center and has already accumulated SEVEN years of its development.
New and experienced generations converge there in a harmonious whole where art, poetry and the Cuban point come together in a real peasant gathering.
In December 2017, the Cuban point was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. It was born in the Cuban countryside and is a form of artistic and cultural expression that bears witness to the diversity of intangible heritage that exists in the world.
