Camagüey, Cuba, February 10th.- The Cuban researcher Emilio Cueto brought the conference In the footsteps of José Martí around the world to this city in an exchange held at the Julio Antonio Mella Provincial Library.
His presentation brings together a wealth of anecdotal images that attest to Martí’s presence in around 88 countries and 342 cities.
In the exchange, Emilio Cueto highlighted the translation of works of the National Hero into 39 languages, and his research includes how the Apostle of Cuban Independence is venerated with his name in different institutions, cities and public spaces; in foreign philately, study chairs, busts and sculptures, among many other manifestations of respect.
Following José Martí’s footprint around the world is an unparalleled example of why we speak of El Maestro as the most universal of all Cubans.
The author also related how by chance Martí’s verses were mixed with the musical theme La Guantanamera, leaving this as the most recognized local composition and performed internationally.
As a fan of everything Cuban and the figure of Martí, the researcher presented this conference on several occasions -inside and outside Cuba- where he has lived since his childhood.
