Running from September 6 to 11, the celebration includes a concert by singer-songwriters Augusto Blanca and Mario Sergio Mora at Jose Marti National Library this Tuesday morning.

“Canto de Todos” began on Monday with a theoretical event featuring speakers from Cuba and other Latin American countries who debated on the realities of their nations and how to confront neoliberalism in the region was a common issue among attendees.

Cuban and international trova musicians will pay tribute to Vicente Feliu and his mobilizing capacity around protest song, thanks to this initiative, whose first 25 years will be celebrated by several generations of singer-songwriters.

The list of visitors to Havana and the Casa de Las Americas cultural institution totaled more than 80 from several nations. They aim at singing to their contexts and struggles from a place of solidarity.
