Havana, May 6 (RHC)-- On the eve of National Day of the Son, on Sunday, May 7th, starting at 10:00 a.m., a simultaneous rueda de casino will be held in the head cities and universities of all the country's provinces.

The initiative, in coordination with the Consejo Nacional de Casas de Cultura de Cuba, is promoted by the international project Retomando el Son, Bailando Casino, directed by music composer, writer, producer, artistic director and cultural promoter Luis Llamo Castillo.

This activity promotes the visibility of the casino movement on the island and will be a preparation for the challenge set by Cuba to break two Guinness World Records in 2024: to do the clave de son in five minutes with the largest number of people and the largest casino wheel in the world, currently held by Venezuela with 1,595 dancers, the organizers of the international project Retomando el Son, Bailando Casino told Granma.

This Sunday, cultural institutions and academies from all over Cuba will participate, which have been rehearsing since April, but the goal is to achieve the greatest number of participants and, to achieve this, the organizers of the event opened a massive call for registration through the Internet. In the case of Havana, the mega rueda will take place on Galeano Avenue.

The casino is a popular dance of Cuban origin and the aim is to turn it into the nation's cultural heritage. The project Retomando el Son, Bailando Casino contributes to this cause by disseminating knowledge and promoting the essence of the son and its main exponents in music and dance.
