season will wind up next October 20 marking Cuban Culture Day.

The three major evens mingled to underscore the spirit of national identity as they express a synthesis of Cuban artistic creation, history and the people’s creativeness.

Despite current shortages, the national, provincial and municipal cultural institutions have prepared programs for the season. The opening today of the film Kangamba, describing a historic deed of Cuban internationalist fighters in Angola, is included in the Festival.

Next October 20, Cuban National Culture Day, will mark the 140 anniversary of the interpretation, for the first time, of the Cuban National Anthem in the eastern city of Bayamo.
