Alternated on the podium were several renowned artists of the island, among them the poet Winston Farrell and the singer-songwriters Richard Stoute and Anthony "Gabby" Carter, who interpreted pieces of their repertoire also allegorical to the tragic event, transmitting their feeling of friendship and support in name of the Barbadian people, "which has as a historical background to have shared the pain and solidarity in another similar air tragedy, that of the Cubana plane that crashed on the coasts off Barbados due to the 1976 terrorist attack".
There were also in attendance the Cuban cultural and sports mission that works in the country, as well as representatives of the "Mártires de Barbados" Association of Cuban Residents who also deposit flowers in a solemn site enabled to sign condolence cards that will be sent to Cuba.

Finally, he extended his thanks to the Right Honourable Freundel Stuart, prime minister of Barbados, who has just sent a written message of condolences to Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez.
