Oslo, October 20, 2023. Members of the Norway-Cuba Friendship Association, fellow nationals and friends from Latin America and other countries living in this city joined the staff of the Embassy of Cuba to celebrate the Cuban Culture Day.
The ambassador, Maité Rivero Torres, explained that every October 20 Cuba celebrates its National Culture Day in memory of that day in 1868, when the people sang for the first time the notes of La Bayamesa, which became the National Anthem and marked the birth and identity of the Cuban nation.
When everybody stood up for listening and singing the Cuban National Anthem was a very moving moment.
To close the activity on a high note, and with the intention of exalting the Cuban cinema, which has contributed a lot to the national culture, the Ambassador invited those present to enjoy the screening of the emblematic film “Clandestinos” by director Fernando Pérez.
