Question

what is the tenth identity

Answer 1

The tenth, which was adopted in Cuba as our own, has found fertile soil in this part of the island. The musicality that existed in the singing of the peasant during his own labors in the countryside was assuming poetic forms to become art, and to become over time one of the cultural riches of this region.

The proximity to the city of Las Tunas, the land of Juan Cristobal Naples Fajardo, which had to travel a lot through this land in route to Holguin, and the very phonetic characteristics of the speech of those who inhabit this linguistic region of Cuba contributed to the proliferation here of so many cultists of the Tenth.

"In the middle of the eighties of last century thanks to the work of the House of Culture we were agglutinating and created in 1986 the House of Writer, the first of its kind in the province. Little by little our work became known until we published several of our works, the same in full books as in anthologies of other writers inside and outside of Cuba. We have also participated in national and international competitions and we have received several prizes. "

With modesty speaks of his work Daer Pozo Ramírez, one of the most recognized decimists in this municipality of Calixto Garcia and the province of Holguin: "In this the Tenth Ibero-American Day we must highlight the work of Ramón Rodríguez, Ramón Acosta and today Camagüeyan Sergio Morales Vera, but there are others, among them Nolberto Carralero, cultor of the humorous Tenth. In our fields the decimist tradition is maintained, the guajiro continues improvising and repeating the songs that have been inherited from generation to generation and there are young people interested in this manifestation, which is very gratifying.

On September 30, 1922, the date of the birth of Jesus Orta Ruiz, the Indian Naborí was considered, since 1998, as the Tenth Ibero-American Day, by agreement of poets and researchers from the Spanish-speaking countries, gathered in the Iberoamerican Festival of the modality, celebrated that year in Islas Canarias.
