There were no announced celebrations of Castro s birthday, though the previous night two dozen musical acts from across Latin America held a concert in his honour.
“What we say in the songs of our invited artists will be little next to what he deserves,” Alfredo Vera, one of the organizers, said late Friday. “Congratulations, beloved and eternal commandant.”
