Page "Bacardi" Paragraph 32

Guillermo Cabrera Infante wrote an account of the festivities for the periodical Ciclón, titled The Old Man and the Brand ( El Viejo y la marca ).

In his account he described how “ on one side there was a wooden stage with two streamers – Hatuey beer and Bacardí rum – on each end and a Cuban flag in the middle.

Next to the stage was a bar, at which people crowded, ordering daiquiris and beer, all free .” A sign at the event read: Bacardí rum welcomes the author of The Old Man and the Sea.
