On Thursday afternoon, they
attended the funeral service held at the Cuban Music
Institute (ICM), where they shared the grief of the people
for the death of the extraordinary composer and interpreter.
Other important figures from different spheres of national
life, particularly culture,
honored the memory of the unforgettable singer, who died
from cancer in Havana on Wednesday.
Orlando Vistel, president of the ICM, told ACN about the
importance of Sara Gonzalez for national culture, an artist
that emerged within the revolutionary process and an example
of the prominence of women in Cuba today.
A great singer has died, but her compositions remain as a
legacy for all Cubans, as well as the memories of her
afternoons at “El Jardin de la Gorda”, her music circle, and
her role to agglutinate voices in the Cuban movement of
troubadours, even after so many years of its creation,
specified Vistel, also a musician and a composer.
