GRANMA Daily. December 9, 2010. From the roof of the Central Museum of Decorative Arts, Beatles fan musicians flooded the dawn of this city with songs of the legendary band on the 30th anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon, reports AIN.

Mostly fans, the eight performers at the concert raided the English group's memorable discography with Let It Be and Don't let me down, to close with Imagine, the theme created by Lennon that has transcended to become a call for world peace.

The idea of playing from a high point of the city was inspired by the last live performance of the Beatles, January 30, 1969 from the roof of the Apple label,in London, said Wilfredo Rodriguez, one of those involved in the tribute.

Guillermo Pérez, a specialist of the Provincial Heritage Centre, told AIN that the first Saturday of each month, at that institution, there is a meeting or Peña dedicated to one of the most successful and acclaimed rock bands in the history of popular music.

The gathering is attended by a public loyal to the musical legacy of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr,in an area where the anthologies and less known works of the group predominate,he said.

Every December 8th the group from the Peña de los Beatles pays special tribute to Lennon, who was killed at the hands of a fanatic in 1980 at the entrance to the Dakota building in New York.
