Pinar del Río, December 10 (AIN) Turned into a inevitable course, more than 100 people, among Cubans and foreigners daily visit the Polo Montañez museum-house, in Las Terrazas community, located in Sierra del Rosario, Pinar del Río.

The cipher doubles the number of those who used to visit the birthplace of the popular artist before his death in a crash accident last November 26, fact that depressed the public in several latitudes.

It is a way to hook oneself to the bard's mystic presence in the place where he sang when he was not famous; feeling also experimented by his septet that as an answer to a generalized clamor began to rehearsal to look for fitting voice to continue the diffusion of the profuse work known and no-published by Polo.

At the museum the Golden, and Platinum record obtain in Colombia can be seen, the only Cuban that could obtain it with his first album.

There are also personal objects such as the white emblematic hat, and others acknowledgements among them the Rewards to the Fidelity, the decorations given by the Culture Ministry, and institutions from different provinces of the nation, and from Mexico and Colombia.

Fernando Borrego Linares was the real name of the artist, being 47 years old when he died, he had just recorded his CD Guajiro Natural (Natural Countryman) and more recently Guajira Mía (My Countrywoman), in a professional career of just three years in the big stages after being discovered by a representative of a French Disc-House "LUSAFRICA".

In an autodidactic way, Polo could universalize the art learned in the "guateques" or typical parties in the country-site without forgetting the most of his life he was a cane-cutter, a track driver.
