They say that the shootings in the heart of the southern city of Cienfuegos on September 5, 1957 broke the usual stillness of dawn.
It was the combatants of the July 26 Movement (M-26-7) and rebel sailors from the Naval District of the South, who took over the naval garrison of Cayo Loco and handed over their weapons to the revolutionaries to carry out one of the most heroic deeds of the years prior to the triumph of January 1, 1959.
It was the popular armed uprising in Cienfuegos, later described by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro as an extraordinary moral support for those who fought in the mountains of eastern Cuba.
These lines serve as a tribute to the heroes and martyrs of the Armed Uprising of this city, which, as Commander in Chief Fidel Castro assured, "has never failed the Revolution."
