in Bariay.
Poets, oral story tellers, dancers, singers, actors, visual art artists and specialists from eight countries celebrated in Holguin the 16th anniversary of the Iberia-American House and the 516th of Christopher Columbus's arrival in Bariay.
Friends from Mexico, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Brazil, Spain, Canada and the United States made up the first international artistic brigade and performed in several municipalities of the province of Holguin affected by Ike hurricane , such as Gibara, Rafael Freyre, Banes and Antilla.
An international voluntary work was carried out precisely at Bariay beach, the place where Christopher Columbus and his sailors had the first contact with Cuban aborigines.
Troubadour Fernando Cabreja, and the Spanish flamenco Company "De orilla a orilla" from Badalona, Spain, acted in Bariay's amphitheater, as well as Zenda, a Cuban music band.
At the closing ceremony Tatiana Zúñiga, director of the Iberia America House, brought to mind the physical disappearance of Commander Camilo Cienfuegos, and she also thanked the token of solidarity by friends from Latin America, Canada, The United States and Spain, that came to Holguín. She also made the call for people to take part in the Festival of the Iberia-American Culture next year.
