Guayos will honor its centuries-old parrandas

The 30th edition of the Guayos Cultural Day will be held on October 17th in the community of Guayos, part of the municipality of Cabaiguán, as part of the activities commemorating the centennial of its parrandas. According to Leonardo Valdivia García, director of the Guayos Cultural Center, it is “a sociocultural research event” that this year adopts a special focus: it will be dedicated exclusively to topics related to the parranda, through life stories, testimonies, audiovisuals, and personal experiences. Unlike previous editions, it will not be competitive, but will be held through a panel where the research work carried out by the community will be presented.
