  granma.cu - Today like yesterday, Benny Moré
LIKE one more person walking along Cienfuegos Boulevard in central Cuba, the all-time popular Benny Moré has been perpetuated in a bronze sculpture by José Villa Soberón, who has broken with the traditional scheme of statues to place it in an environment with an eminently communicative language.
It is the figure of the myth in a complicit relationship with the city that he loved the most, walking with his unfailing hat and cane, cast in bronze to a height of 1.82 meters and weighing 300 kilograms.
Benny Moré is there with his people to demonstrate that today, like yesterday, he is an integral part of Cienfuegans and Cubans, while his amazing voice still moves human hearts.
