MATANZAS, Cuba, Jun 5 (ACN) Cuban culture is not just rum and cigars, there is music, literature and dance to learn, said on Tuesday in Matanzas, Tucker Sharpe, one of the ten US students from the University of Wake Forest visiting the city as part of an exchange program.
It is important to come to Cuba because you cannot learn without visiting the island, said the Spanish, Psychology and Latin America studies student.
I love to learn about Spanish speaking societies, that is why I have visited Chile and Peru but I want to learn about Cuba.
The students visited heritage sites like the Jose White Concert Hall, Sauto Theater, Velasco Theater and the Ediciones Vigia Workshop in Matanzas as part of their visit to other parts of the island accompanied by their Professor and Academic Linda Howe.
Grace Macneil highlighted the hospitality of the Cuban people who have been helping the students to learn about the local and daily life of the city and thanked the time shared with artisans at the Ediciones Vigia.
I admire the Cuban people because they can live a more humble life, with the basics. Life in the US is sometimes too fast and the people do not have time to breath and observe where they are, but in Cuba the people can do that, said Grace.
The Director of the Ediciones Vigia, Agustina Ponce Valdes said that the editorial maintains an active and valuable relation with Professor Linda Howe which has taken her students to Matanzas on several occasions to show and promote Cuban culture.
The students from the University of Wake Forest will visit Trinidad, World Heritage Site located in Sancti Spiritus province and learn more about literature, music and other arts in the different provinces.
