This Wednesday, in the Universal Hall of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, a tribute to Juan Almeida Bosque took place, in which the Cuban president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, participated.
Born on February 17, 1927 in Havana, Juan Almeida Bosque came to hold the rank of Commander thanks to his participation in decisive actions for the revolutionary triumph in Cuba, such as the assault on the Moncada barracks (Santiago de Cuba, 1953), the landing of the Granma (1956) and the guerrilla war in the Sierra Maestra.
During that period Mario Muñoz led the Third Front, in which, in addition to the six thousand square kilometers that it covered, he won the love of the inhabitants.
After the triumph of the Revolution in 1959, he held numerous responsibilities as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba since its foundation in 1965, vice president of the Council of State and president of the Association of Combatants.
In addition to his revolutionary work, he also had a prolific musical and literary body of work, including more than 300 musical pieces and nine books.
On September 11, 2009, Juan Almeida Bosque died in Havana as a result of a cardio-respiratory arrest.
