A representation of professors and students, the municipal authorities of the Education and Culture sector, gathered in the Ariguanabo Marti Forest, located in San Antonio de los Baños, to commemorate the anniversary of the beginning of the Cuba's Independence War - on October 10, 1868.
Rafael Rodríguez Ortiz ''Felo'', the creator of the Marti Forest, referred to Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, who freed his slaves so that they would rise in arms for the sovereignty of Cuba. In addition, he highlighted the importance of the Forest through different representations of the History of Cuba, such as the 394 kilometer Marti's route, from Playitas to Dos Ríos, where he fell in combat between the Dagame and Fustete trees. These trees today also grow in this Ariguanabo area.
With poems dedicated to Ernesto Che Guevara, to our Ariguanabo and with themes by Silvio Rodríguez as “I am from where there is a river”, the students of the Eduardo Abela School of Art enlivened the political-cultural act.
