The concert which begins 8:30 pm (0030 GMT Sunday) in Havana and will last throughout the night. Dozens of musicians will perform on the stage in a 'Cantata for the Country' honoring the communist leader. Rehearsals and preparations for public displays of affection for their president had been encouraged in Havana and other cities of the Caribbean Island. Meanwhile, a high-level Communist Party official stressed that Castro was 'successfully' recuperating from surgery and that life on the Americas' only communist island was "completely normal."
