Annual UNEAC Prize for Pablo Milanés
Also awarded to another Bayamó
native, Salvador Alarcón
TROVA
singer Pablo Milanés has been awarded the 2006
Annual Prize by the Association of Writers and
Artists of Cuba (UNEAC), highlighting his artistic
contribution of a lifetime to that fertile field of
Cuban culture.
After UNEAC president and poet Carlos Martí
presented the award to the author of anthological
Latin America songs, Harold Gramatges, who heads up
the association, recalled that on this occasion the
prize was shared with another eminent Bayamó
resident, Salvador Alarcón, for his exceptional
support to the concert bands in the country, but as
Pablo was on tour when the Prize was announced, its
presentation had been delayed.
Pablo expressed thanks for a recognition that was
dear to him for coming from his colleagues in
creativity.
