Delio Luna: The Spirit of the Popular

impeccable appearance, long-sleeved shirt, a broad culture expressed in cutting humor: That was Delio Luna Echemendía, that indispensable man of the Spiritan culture.

Nothing could be fairer than for the Sancti Spiritus Agricultural and Industrial Fair to bear his name today, because of what his presence as promoter and narrator of this virile sport meant to rodeo.

The fairs of Victoria de Las Tunas, Sancti Spiritus and Lenin Park preserve the memory of Delio Luna. He was an expert connoisseur of animals, of their characteristics and he dominated that world to perfection and communicated it with clarity and moderation. To his impeccable diction he added his vast culture, sustained by systematic and quality readings.

Delio Luna had the rare faculty of being able to animate a rodeo, a cultural gala, a political evening or a humorous corner. He was integral because he stamped everything with his professionalism, his charisma and his popular spirit that quickly endeared him to everyone.
