As part of the activities to commemorate the Day of Cuban Culture, on October 25 the Embassy of Cuba in Barbados celebrated the 65th anniversary of the founding of ICAIC by screening the film “Cuba Libre” at the Cinematheque of the University of the West Indies (UWI) in Barbados.
Cubans celebrate every year, on October 20, the National Culture Day. This date was chosen because on this day in 1868 the Cuban patriot and musician Perucho Figueredo released “La Bayamesa”, a musical work he composed to call the people of Bayamo to combat. That October 20, 1868, the people of Bayamo sang for the first time the notes of our National Anthem, anthem that accompanied our mambises in the independence struggle and from that day to date Cubans sing with respect and dignity in every act and occasion of solemnity that deserves it.
Youth organizations from Barbados and Cuba held a virtual meeting on the impact of the blockade on the lives of Cubans.
A virtual meeting was held between representatives of youth organizations of Barbados and directors of the Union of Young Communist Cubans (UJC).
Young Cubans working in technology centers, sugar industry companies and other sectors of the Cuban economy explained with statistical figures some of the most significant effects caused by the economy.
