On 26th July Cuba celebrates the day of National Revelry. It remembers the attacks on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes military Barracks located in Santiago de Cuba and Bayamo, Cuba.

Despite the unsuccessful military action, this event is considered the beginning of the Cuban Revolution that successfully defeat the Batista dictatorship six years later on January 1959.

Long live Cuba,
Long live Fidel and Raul!
Hasta la Victoria Siempre, VENCEREMOS!
