At the start of the presentation of the artistic group made up, among others, by the troubadour Augusto Blanca, Carlos Ruiz de la Tejera and Ernesto Rancaño, the founder of the New Trova explained the inmates the reasons that motivated the tour and expressed his faith in human progress.
This expedition is taken over again after many years, because you are an indissoluble part of our people and culture must reach everywhere, stated the author of Playa Girón (Girón Beach) and of Pequeña serenata diurna (Small daytime serenade).
Songs such as La maza (The mace), Corazón(Heart), El necio (The fool) and Expedición (Expedition) were heard in the voice of its author, accompanied by Trovarroco, the flute player Niurka González and the quartet Sexto Sentido, in an excess of virtuosity that captivated spectators.
