The Cultural Festival concluded in Calixto García, dedicated to recognizing the work of Calixto poet Ramón Acosta Almaguer, the history of the Ajo Brothers' organ, and the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the José Martí Brigade of Art Instructors.
Exhibitions of fine arts and crafts, presentations of projects dedicated to local traditions, an event featuring historians, lectures dedicated to honoring local traditions, and the presentation of the March 15th Distinction to prominent figures in Calixto culture were among the activities of a day that, despite the inconveniences caused by power outages, was well received by residents and visitors.
In conversation with this journalist, renowned decima writer Acosta Almaguer said he felt honored by the recognition of his work. "I think I've dedicated almost my entire intellectual life to constructing décimas, that stanza made up of ten octosyllabic verses with consonant rhyme, which has required a very strict rhyme scheme, but every time I begin, I don't rest until the end, almost without a break," expresses this writer, a cultural gem from Calixto who has already surpassed eighty years of prolific life.
