The iconic broadcaster from Cuba, Lilia Rosa López, passed away this Saturday at the age of 92.
López had been awarded the National Radio Prize in 2007 and was also an artist of merit at the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television (ICRT) and an esteemed member of UNEAC, highlights the obituary from the Radio Cubana portal.
The broadcaster was born in Santa Clara in 1933 and after the triumph of the Castro revolution, she entered the field of broadcasting, first in radio and later in television.
Together with Maestro Ángel Hernández, he spent 10 years hosting the usual anniversary program This Day.
He also worked for Radio Habana Cuba, Radio Progreso, Cubavisión, and the Educational Channel.
She was also the voice for some of Santiago Álvarez's documentaries dedicated to the Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh (1969) or the American activist Angela Davis (1972), adds a note from OnCuba.
"Lilia Rosa López is one of the iconic voices of Cuban broadcasting and far beyond the geographical borders of Cuba. With a voice of impeccable range, she belongs to the elite group of the country's vanguards," concludes the statement from Radio Cubana.
