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.
