Guantanamo.- There are moments that one would not like to live, nor share, but life is determined to hit you with the paw of death when it is least expected.

Marlene Salazar Salazar, the National Radio Award winner, passed away on November 5 in Guantánamo at the age of 78, after a long and recognized career at the provincial radio station CMKS during which she has been awarded numerous prizes and awards.

The Cuban Radio bids farewell to the scriptwriter and director of the radio broadcast, who from her native Guantánamo won several generations over with her children’s programme Los Pinos Nuevos, as well as others such as Encuentro con el Maestro, the radio dramatic serie Entre Tú y Yo, in which she imposed her mastery and her way of doing things.

Marlene Salazar holds at the time of her death the Distinction for Cuban Culture, Radio Microphone, Artistic Merit Award and recognitions from the José Martí Cultural Society such as the Utilidad de la Virtud, Honor Honor and Homeland, among many others.

The Cuban radio loses one of its most passionate radio broadcaster and a revolutionary until her last breath.
