The Manuel de Salas school hosted this cultural event, organized by the Association of Parents of Graduates from the island, with the aim of raising funds to purchase solar panels for various centers.
“This is the second time we have participated, and obviously, it is imperative to stand with Cuba and support its people in the face of the ordeal caused by the blockade and the harshest policies implemented by Donald Trump,” Cristobal Berru, of the group Los Insobornables, told Prensa Latina.
“For me, being here is not only a duty but also a pleasure and a privilege,” said *trovador* Francisco Villa, adding that he considers himself indebted to Cuban musicians such as Silvio Rodriguez and Vicente Feliu. “We are here sharing our songs and our voices to unite for a very clear objective: to collaborate in sending solar panels to the island with all our love, affection, and conviction,” bolero singer Carmen Prieto told the agency.
Elizabeth Molina and Melinka Lamata, members of the event’s organizing committee, explained that the goal is to help Cuba shift its energy matrix toward renewable sources.
The solar panels will be installed in various locations, such as emergency services, hospitals, and schools, Molina explained.
Rosario Rodriguez, First Secretary of the Cuban Embassy in Chile, thanked everyone for this wonderful activity, which she described as a way for many artists to demonstrate that Cuba is not alone and that music and art also stand with the Revolution.
