Havana Celebrates Its 486 Anniversary

Havana, Nov. 17 (AIN) A magnificent gala celebrating the 486th anniversary of Havana, Cuba's capital, took place last night in the city's historic center.

Among the over 200 artist who participated at the festivity there were members of the Spanish ballet in Cuba, Son and pop bands, and renowned Cuban soloists.

The spectacle was colored and revived by the carnival parade and music group "the Guaracheros de Regla," whose rhythms brought the multinational audience to dance.

Also in attendance were the head of Havana's Communist Party, Pedro Saez Montejo; the president of Havana province, Juan Contino; foreign delegates to the 13th Assembly for Cooperation and Solidarity Between City Councils; and --of course-- people of Havana.
