Mayabeque, Cuba: Years ago, the art of improvising lacked female figures, perhaps because of prejudices that made women limit themselves to practicing repentismo, a profession that apparently belonged to men, since its main representation was male.
But the 21st century arrived and with it the creation of the children repentismo workshops devised by Alexis Díaz Pimienta.
Anamarys Gil Méndez, a 21-year-old young woman considered one of the talents of her generation, is an example of this.
The Children repentismo workshops have a special meaning for Anamarys, as they weres her school and her initiation into this world.
According to Anamarys the poet is born and perfects over time.
The young repentista from Mayabeque has received multiple awards for the quality of her spinel.
Anamarys is one of those women who defend this peasant tradition in the demarcation, she faces in each of her controversies and poetic dialogue those men who worship spinel, showing off the ability of Cuban women and following in the footsteps of the Your Excellency Tomasita Quiala.
Every December 14, the Culture Worker Day is celebrated, an opportune date to honor all the people linked to the sector and the Casa de la Décima de Mayabeque for their work.
