is extremely pleased to be able in today, performing the official opening of this beautiful shows that under the title of Mount Instincts very precious contains a selection of his work.
I would also say the intense emotion cause we in the solitude of that hour when had not yet conducted the opening ceremony not only see but to penetrate the secret and mysterious world of work. In the certain preciousness of his work as an artist in the truest sense and deeper of the word. Beautiful
not only in form but in the background, precious in the quest for the true picture of who we are or were human after which wanders from the paradise that had in Palestine or in Africa today, and the search for exact real and what passes for our current awareness that no explanation of the Cuban will never be sure if mistakenly dispensed to meet face to face with the African world, it also means with Cuban world, such an explanation of reality is only a phone call from the blood, but a strong appeal to the culture, that culture from the time the country also became the land of others and not only the initial parents, indigenous people from island to island descended from the Amazon on the Amazon and Orinoco to the Greater Antilles and stopped here at the immensity of the gulf. It was another, when the ships left on the African coast to transit the Atlantic survivors, said Jose Luciano Franco far one of the forgotten Cuban historians, who ran the yoke infinitely material released and believe that by setting would be the continent once again unaware of the sea that unites us than divides us and makes an island of the archipelago not only geographically but also as a stronghold and bastion of sleep and weight today archipelago say that he is from another island would give us the right to consider and not a single island, Cuba.
What happens is that the Cuban all-encompassing, all these rocks and islets even the island of San Juan Evangelista, La Isla de Pinos, Treasure Island, the Isle of Youth where he is an exponent. In his wonderful cure

Over the years, as the waves seem to move you, but always are equal to step in my soul, but the portrait that evokes in my first words is no longer the mirror of Narcissus, we are today in this beautiful exhibition of paintings, where the African dazzling full weight of his dignity lies before us , was presented to me when Ife Boni came to Cuba and came to Old Havana and met at the home of Africa with African community representatives descendant of the Tatas and the Gobbos of Nigeria who had a meeting in the place came also the director, the Rector of the University of Ife, when I hear talk in the voices of prayers to the orishas Cubans, the Ger same Pier had discovered during his trip to Cuba almost a half century ago, the same as Fernando Ortiz interrogated with dramatic urgency to their age at the home of L.
A the same as narrated in Matanzas near the great lake to Lydia Cabrera the mystery of his ancestry when he said, "came the Onix and hear the president speak to the elders, said these voices come from the depths of the continent. It only
etymological study of words can be identified, poetry is alive as if there had been no time when he finished his speech the elders went to kiss the knee and the foot of Onix and reconciled with its past.
Until the release of the 60 gave birth to new nations, our youth was filled with the memories of the names of the great heroes of the African struggle, we hear of children Onotenyata and Secuturé youngest, John Blackness .
