Mayabeque, Cuba: Creators of Mayabeque received the distinction for the National Culture. Lázaro Palenzuela Campos is one of the recognized artists and creators of Mayabeque.
The merit is due to the training of children, young people and adolescents who love the Punto Cubano, declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
?It is a high commitment, also a recognition of a large part of my life dedicated to maintaining the tradition of peasant music and seeing the dreams of many people come to fruition. I am very happy that they have taken me into account for this distinction,? Palenzuela Campos said.
?We have had the good fortune to represent Cuba in several international events, in 11 countries, including Colombia, Spain, Portugal, Panama, that is, an important group of countries that have seen Cuban culture and the bearers are those boys who today see us on the streets, in the Mayabeque schools, who played yesterday and today they walk through our parks, but who are already icons of tradition because they took on foreign trends from other cultures, and took their step forward ?, the director of the House of the Décima of Mayabeque concluded.
