On the opening day of the 29th Cubanía Festival, Dr. Yoel Cordoví Núñez, president of the Institute of History of Cuba, emphasized the importance of defending our history and culture as two of the indispensable resources that are deeply rooted in our autochthony.
The historian specified that this great cultural event, which will last until October 20, enlivens traditions, scientific events, and other artistic spaces that refer to historical events and figures that are consubstantial with the ideals of independence, sovereignty, and social justice that distinguish the Cuban nation.
Cordoví Núñez himself described the Cubanía Festival as a festival of people and national culture. During its opening day, several spaces were dedicated to extolling the legacy of the National Hero of Cuba, José Martí, in the forging and defense of our identity and sovereignty.
In simpler terms:
The Cubanía Festival is a celebration of Cuban history and culture. It is a chance for people to learn about their country's past and present, and to celebrate the things that make Cuba unique.
This year's festival is especially focused on the legacy of José Martí, Cuba's national hero. Martí was a writer, poet, and revolutionary who played a key role in Cuba's independence movement. He is known for his ideals of independence, sovereignty, and social justice.
The festival features a variety of events, including concerts, dance performances, and lectures. It is a great opportunity for people of all ages to learn about Cuban culture and to celebrate their national pride.
