Using art as poetry, music, dances and history, representatives of different Gung communities organized a tribute to Nele Kantele's legacy at the 89th anniversary of his death and as a preamble to the celebration of the centennial of the Dole Revolution, where Kantula was one of his leading precursors.

Alfred Kantule, a great grandson of the indigenous leader, stated that "this event was always held in the Ustupu community at Guna Yala, but this year we decided to do so in Panama City, and so my family and I thank the Ministry of Culture that through the office of the Casco Antiguo, they welcomed this initiative so that visitors and communities from Panama could have an opportunity to pay tribute to my grandfather."

Within this commemorative event, as well as the artistic manifestations, there was a space where Florentino Archibold provided information about the musical instruments used by the gunas, which are ancestral, showing some as Elob, I knew, suara, tolo and Galabili, most wind instruments as well as some maracas.

It was a space for reflection through the art of poetry where children and youth interpreted verses that narrated Kantle's life and fight with messages that called for care of Mother Earth and to preserve his custom and traditions.

A great number of dances by the Olodi Gammu, Suluba Gun Galu and Uskalu have been shown to have been put into practice and have been put into good performance with children and youth and have been shown to have been followed with a generational relief through the dance.

The Vice Minister of Culture, Gabriel González, who was a part of this celebration, reiterated MiCultura's support for all cultural initiatives, especially those aimed at maintaining the traditions and customs of the native peoples, because this is to promote and preserve our intangible heritage and our identity.
