The gateways of the headquarters of the National Ballet of Cuba (BNC) opened today to receive the president and editor-in-chief of the Excelencias Group, José Carlos Santiago, who handed the Excelencias Cuba 2018 Award to the famous Cuban dancer Viengsay Valdés, the company’s deputy art director.

As it has happened since 2010, a group of personalities and institutions at the service of culture and people were honored with the Excelencias Awards Cuba 2018 in recognition of not only their work —necessary and everlasting— but also the “magic” in them.

The latest issue of the Excelencias magazine is out and this time around, like every year since 2003, the February issue is fully dedicated to the Habano Festival.

The Excelencias Group calls on its clients, collaborators and close friends to support the recovery efforts of Havana, capital of Cuba, for considering a moral duty to support solidarity with the tornado victims.

The awards ceremony at the National Theater will be attended by members of the diplomatic corps registered in Cuba, entrepreneurs, executives from national entities, award winners from previous editions, among others.

The Excelencias Awards were created 13 years ago by Grupo Excelencias, with the aim of promoting excellence in different areas related to tourism, gastronomy and culture in Iberian-America.
