Musicians celebrate Day of Cuban Son
Havana, May 8 (Prensa Latina) The Day of the Cuban Son, a date declared as a tribute to that musical expression, also recalls on Saturday the birthday of two of its great exponents: composer Miguel Matamoros and singer Miguelito Cuni.
Both musicians contributed to the transcendence of the genre. According to Maestro Adalberto Alvarez, this May 8 makes the representatives of the father of all styles of popular dance music in Cuba visible. Classical artists, jazz musicians, singer songwriters and even dance and theater professionals supported the decision that Cuban son had its day, because it runs through the veins of Cubans and it is part of our DNA. Each province will have its own autonomy, working lines and visual identity, he assured.
