Cuba - Festival of youth

Описание: (29 Jul 1997) T/I: 10:08:48


Cuban President Fidel Castro greeted thousands of young people from around the world at a communist-sponsored youth festival Monday (28/7) in Havana. The participants included young Americans who defied a US
travel ban.
The event is held every few years, usually in a communist-ruled country.
Fidel Castro did not speak to the participants, but waved from a
balcony at the Havana University, where Silvio Rodriguez and other Cuban folk singers played for the crowd. Cuban youths joined visitors from around the world, waving Cuban flags and banners with the image of Che Guevara.
