"Never in the history of the continent- since the times of Netzahualtcoyoti and Atahualpa; since Bolívar, Morelos and San Martín; since José Martí, Eloy Alfaro and Francisco Madero– have a voice emerging from the deepest entrails of the people been heard as the voice of Cuba today, expressed in the apostolic words of Fidel Castro. It is made of the great essences of the popular: rage and protest, joy and chants, justice and hope".
