The national flag of the Republic of Cuba flies on one of the high flagpoles in the new Flag Plaza inaugurated in Doha, Qatar, in connection with the upcoming celebration of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in this sister country. A banner with information about the Cuban archipelago is also there.
Ambassador Oscar Leon Gonzalez represented Cuba at the inauguration of the new venue, where the Years of Culture community festival showcases cultures, folkloric traditions, and dances of different nationalities.
Precisely, Monday, 10 October 2022, the contagious rhythm of the Son and other Cuban melodies excited a large crowd gathered at the Flag Plaza to enjoy the show.
Songs by the famous Cuban group Los Van Van and the legendary troubadour Silvio Rodríguez, among others, were heard in the beautiful open-air space located a few meters from the waters of the Persian Gulf. The outstanding dance group Novel Dance completed the applauded presentation with excellent choreographies.
It is a celebration of cultures and a tribute to peace, solidarity, and friendship.
