Fernando David Conde Fernández, the Cuban pianist who went viral on social media earlier this year due to his exceptional talent, celebrated his silver wedding anniversary in Havana with a renewed wedding ceremony.
On his Facebook profile, Fernando announced the event as "My Grand Event," aptly naming it "My Silver Wedding." He expressed his joy by saying he was "happy to share every moment with you," accompanied by a video where he can be seen playing the piano.
Another video shared by the pianist shows him and his partner, Matilde Boada Edelma, leaving a house. She is dressed in a traditional white wedding gown, while he dons a light blue suit. The couple then hops into a convertible to head to the ceremony venue.
Fernando, who has a certain degree of mental disability, amazed everyone with his brilliant piano performance. "I am a 'musical spiritist,' I will play for you 'Laura is Not Here.' I know how to make a disco on the piano," he humorously noted in the video, revealing his talent. His amusing mistake of saying "spiritist" instead of "empiricist" highlighted his self-taught skills.
Following his viral moment, Fernando received support from many Cubans both on the island and abroad, including Limay Blanco and Lino Tomasen, also known as "El Hombre de Hierro." Their efforts helped in the renovation of Fernando's home and facilitated his performances at various venues in the Cuban capital.
