Cuba will host 1st Ibero-American edition of San Remos Music Awards
Havana, Feb.22 (RHC) -- The upcoming edition of the San Remo Music Awards in Cuba continues mobilizing public opinion, as the manipulation on social media by Cuba enemies to try to boycott the event, found the strong rejection of the international community.
The confirmation of the dates April 5th through the 10th had high repercussion in newspapers, magazines and news agencies in Switzerland, Russia, Argentina, Paraguay, Germany, United States, Spain, France, Mexico, and of course, in Italy, among other nations.
A dozen Italian media outlets replicated the interview granted to the Cuban website Cubadebate by cultural promoter and artistic director of the San Remo Music Awards Cuba, musician Jorge Luis Robaina, leader of the group Karamba.
Some Italian outlets, which echoed the news include El Corriere della Sera, Picchio News, Umbría Journal, Notizie Nazionali, LSD Magazine Il Vostro Pezzo Mancante, Udite-Udite, Geos News, Dietro la Noticia, among others.
They mention a posthumous tribute, in the framework of the San Remo Music Awards Cuba, to Italian singer-songwriter, composer, dancer and choreographer Raffaella Carrà, as well as the presence in Havana for the event of Italian entrepreneur Nicola Convertino and artistic manager Flavio Ferrari.
Picchio News also highlighted the strong cultural links between Cuba and Italy, which will be celebrated during the prestigious festival, with activities in several Havana venues, namely Teatro Nacional, Club 500 and Hotel Nacional de Cuba.
Italian media also echoed Convertino’s statements about the festival, as he considers Cuba an important venue to strengthen collaboration with major exponents of Cuban and Latin music.
The organization of the festival started two years ago. It will be the first time it is held in an Ibero-American nation, and has a broad program that includes cuisine and fashion shows, a singing contest and business meetings between authorities and representatives from the music industries of Cuba and Italy.
