Latin American singers honor Fidel Castro at 85
None
Nearly two dozen singers and musicians from nine Latin American nations honored Fidel Castro with a concert Friday on the eve of the former Cuban leader's 85th birthday. Dubbed the "Serenade to Fidelity," the spectacle was a "homage to the life of a man, of a people, of a nation and of a revolution," the Communist Party newspaper Granma said.
Neither Fidel nor his younger brother, President Raul Castro, was at the concert, which saw many of Cuba's other leaders attend, including Vice President Jose Ramon Machado Ventura. (AP)
