World's Longest "Son" Played in Holguín   
01/01/2004 03:34PM
Contributed by: ARomero

Events(Prensa Latina - Cumbancha) Holguín, Cuba - The continuous performance of the world's longest "Son", lasted 110 hours. It began in Holguín on Saturday and concluded today, on January 1, to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. The record performance opened with the orchestra Ases del Ritmo, which was followed by renowned guest groups, including Cándido Fabré and his band, Elito Revé and his Charangón, and Maravillas de Florida.

Some 30 "son" groups and septets performed in an area close to the Major General Calixto García Stadium, where thousands of dancers enjoyed the show, which broke the current Guinness record of 104 hours set at La Tropical's Salón Rosado, in the Cuban capital, in 1991.
