Crafts are present at the 2024 Cucalambeana Fiesta. Beyond the colors, you can see techniques and textures that range from recycled bottles to elements of nature.

The Minister of Culture emphasized the importance of keeping our traditions alive.

"This is an event of extraordinary importance because it makes visible a notable area of traditions, of our popular culture. The décima is alive among us. It is alive in the singers, improvisers, its written form...," said Minister of Culture Alpidio Alonso about the Cucalambeana Fiesta, who for the first time is attending the Guateque Mayor since he is in office.

2024 Cucalambeana Fiesta

A new edition of the Cucalambeana Fiesta is bringing joy to the Balcón de Oriente these days. As usual, the event began with a parade from the Provincial Council of Plastic Arts to Plaza Martiana, in the city's historic center. This time we had the joy of being accompanied by the Minister of Culture Alpidio Alonso and prestigious cultural traditions from different parts of the country.

How can we measure the contributions of those who give their body and soul every day for the greater good over so many years? How can we say thank you in the best way possible without seducing egos or triumphalism? Familiar faces and necessary souls gathered yesterday in the lobby of the Tunas Theater. The culture of Las Tunas thanked them through decorations, even though it knows that they deserve more but, as Martí said, "To honor, honors."
