This date commemorates the birth of Cuban martyr Raul Gomez Garcia (1928-1953), known as the poet of the Centennial Generation and author of the lyrical work “Ya estamos en combate” (We Are Already in Combat) and drafter of the Moncada Manifesto.

Institutions and organizations throughout the country shared their congratulations on social media, recognizing the work of creators, promoters, intellectuals, and technicians.

From December 10 to 14, Cuba celebrated those who make culture a daily dedication and commitment; during these days, experiences were shared, careers were recognized, and the value of culture as a public good and a right for all was reaffirmed, shared the Recording and Musical Editions Company, EGREM.

The dedication of all of them guarantees that culture continues to be a vital force and a bridge to identity; their often silent work becomes the foundation of tradition and the engine of renewal, commented the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba on its Facebook profile.

The National Council of Performing Arts expressed its gratitude for their daily effort, their courage to create, and their unwavering commitment to culture, highlighting how the workers in the sector are the soul and heart of the performing arts.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the Cuban Fund for Cultural Assets, the National Council of Visual Arts, and the National Ballet School, which will offer a special performance this Sunday, also commemorated the date with celebratory messages.
