Members of the Hermanos Sa\u00edz Association (AHS) across Cuba are gearing up for October 18, the exact date on which the organization representing young artists at the forefront of the country\u2019s cultural scene will celebrate 40 years of work.<\/p>\n

Yasel Toledo Garnache, national president of the AHS, confirmed this at a press conference held to mark the anniversary.<\/p>\n

In Havana, at venues including Pabell\u00f3n Cuba, as well as throughout the country, a wide range of activities honoring the organization\u2019s anniversary are being held and planned, with young artists taking center stage.<\/p>\n

Special tributes are being paid to brothers Luis and Sergio Sa\u00edz Montes de Oca, whose legacy continues to inspire the organization\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

In this connection, a Radio Arte team has devoted considerable effort to producing a ten-part dramatized series that, following its premiere in the coming days, will be made available to radio stations across Cuba.<\/p>\n

The anniversary program is also driving the production of a film based on the lives of the two young revolutionaries, who were murdered on August 13, 1957, by an enforcer of the Batista dictatorship in the town of San Juan y Mart\u00ednez, Pinar del R\u00edo.<\/p>\n

The film project is directed by Roly Pe\u00f1a, who said at the press conference that he is delighted to be working with the AHS and engaging with its history, and that he remains willing to collaborate on other initiatives.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Leivan Garc\u00eda Valle, director of the National Folkloric Ensemble of Cuba, announced the show *Guajiro: Stories of a Peasant*, in tribute to the Association and the centenary of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.<\/p>\n

According to Toledo Garnache, the communities will primarily serve as venues for sharing artistic offerings, much as the cultural sector has been doing in the face of the limitations imposed by the United States’ energy blockade.<\/p>\n

The national president of the AHS highlighted the premieres of documentaries, music videos, and television programs, as well as the awarding of the \u00abMaestro de Juventudes\u00bb (Mentor of Youth) title and the grants and prizes that encourage creativity among young people.<\/p>\n

This year marks the first edition of the C\u00f3digo Abierto Festival at the Pabell\u00f3n Cuba; a new addition is a scholarship program for DJs supported by the British Council, which will culminate in a mega-event bringing together the finalists from each province in that field.<\/p>\n

Although the months of September and October are the focal point for the most significant events of the celebration period, the activities organized throughout 2026\u2014and those planned through the end of the year\u2014also highlight the date of October 18.<\/p>\n
