Likewise, Cuban residents participated in cultural representations along with other nations and the “Son de la Loma” was heard, giving a distinguished national touch, and the students Dennys and Ramón Ocampo García, representing their school, were part of an orchestra integrated by Guyanese children of different nationalities which interpreted a fragment of the Anthem to the Joy of the Ninth Symphony of Ludwing Van Beethoven.
