AN international event in honor of Commander Ernesto Che Guevara on the 80th anniversary of his birth will take place in Rosario, Argentina, his native land.

The commemoration is sponsored by the municipal department of culture in this city, the third-largest in Argentina. The four children of Che and Aleida March de la Torre’s will be attending — Aleidita, Camilo, Celia and Ernesto — and will present the book Evocación, mi vida al lado del Che, (Evocation, my life at Che’s side) written by Aleida March and published in Cuba, Serbia, Spain, Japan, Italy and Portugal, as well as shortly in Brazil.
In Rosario, birthplace of the heroic guerilla, the first monument in his honor in Argentina will be dedicated in Parque Hipólito Irigoyen, an area which as of Saturday will be known as Plaza del Che, featuring a bronze sculpture by Andrés Zerneri, made out of pieces of metal collected in a unique campaign to gather small objects of this material.
In Havana, a political-cultural event will take place to pay tribute to Commander Ernesto Che Guevara on Friday, the eve of his 80th birthday.
During the gala, which will be broadcast on national television, a choral symphonic piece, "El cantar del caballero y su destino" by Maestro José María Vitier, will have its premiere. More than 4,000 Havana residents will participate in the tribute.
