The Politcal Song Festival is one of the oldest event of trova song in Cuba, that every year from August 1st to 4 takes place in Guantanamo to bring together artists of all Cuban provinces, who will play the socially committed song
and perform poetry recitals, and display audiovisual products,
as well as exhibition of visual and performing arts. A good moment to enjoy
As main activity will be the traditional pilgrimage and the concert on August 4, at the foot of the obelisk erected to the revolutionaries fallen in Guantanamo the 4th of August 1957: Fabio Rosell, Gustavo Fraga, Enrique Rodriguez, Jesus Martin and Abelardo Cuza.
The event had its origins in 1976 by idea of
the Guantanamo troubadour Lorenzo Cisneros and other members of the then
Brigada Hermanos Saiz, and since that time the event have been honored by figures likes Silvio Rodriguez, Pablo Milanes, Sara Gonzalez and Blanca
Augusto and other promoters-
I think is a good idea to have a trip to the Cuban easternmost province to enjoy the real Nueva trova song.
