Last Tuesday, April 1st, the Socialist Legislative Council of the state of Monagas (CLESM) unanimously approved the nomination of 12 new Living Cultural Patrimonies in the region, with the purpose of recognizing the invaluable contribution of cultivators with more than 50 years of experience in various artistic disciplines.

In the special session held in the entity's Dr. Jesús Rafael Zambrano auditorium, the cultors who were recognized for their hard work in the different artistic disciplines stand out: José Apolinar Cantor, Miguel Adonay, Manuel Mariño, Martín Martínez, Rosa Berroterán, Agapito Serrano, Gerardo Díaz, Juana Evariste, Onesimo Rodríguez, Inés Pérez, Antonio José Gómez and Omar Cortés.

These artists, outstanding in areas such as dance, singing, music, dance and cinema, have left an indelible mark on the cultural heritage of Monagua.

In this regard, the president of CLESM, Reinaldo Astudillo, highlighted the importance of this recognition to preserve and value the traditions of the region.

The Commission for Scientific, Historical and Sports Cultural Heritage of the state of Monagas will send the application for declaration to the governor of the state of Monagas, Ernesto Luna for approval.

As part of the commitment to the preservation and promotion of the region's cultural legacy, the session considered the possibility of requesting the Cultural Heritage Institute, an entity attached to the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture, to declare each of these cultivators as Patrimonial Bearers of the Nation, to recognize and safeguard the invaluable contribution of these artists and creators.
