The following two days, Mancha de Rolando will participate in the longest rock concert ever in Cuba (24 hours of rock at Havanas La Tropical club, in which 40 bands will play from 12 to 12), reports Granma daily.

On the 27th, the band will return to La Tropical, and on the 29th they are scheduled at the Jose Marti Anti-imperialist Plaza, a presentation "that represents an enormous pride and great responsibility. Its an honor to be at such an emblematic place playing our music and representing our country," Tano, said the band drummer.

Another performance has also been scheduled for the University of Holguin, on the eastern side of the island.

With more than 16 years of appearances on international and Argentinean circuits, where they have shared the stage with popular bands like "Divididos" or "Bersuit Vergarabat", Mancha de Rolando will board the aircraft "very excited about this upcoming experience," says Tano. "We want to have exchanges with as many Cuban artists as possible, and to join in recitals to get to know each other and compare our music."

Mancha de Rolando performs classic rock, and was founded in 1991 in the city of Avellaneda, located south of Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital. The group is made up by five musicians: (Manu, voice and guitar), Franchi (guitar), Carlitos (bass), El Tano (drums) and El Conde (keyboards).
