A refreshing voice arrives in the morning, without asking permission, in homes, and work and study places through the magic of Radio Progreso station and its program Juventud 2000.

 This program was founded on July 7, 1986, and designed to transmit through the ether a sound of hope for the Cuban family, characterized by the combination of music, news, messages, greetings and publicizing all types of activities.

We have to emphasize the harmonious work of announcer Martha Veronica Marcel, a member of the staff since its foundation; who captivates the Cuban listeners with her warm voice.

Its first director was Osvaldo Witi Valdes, followed by Maria Antonia Alvarez and the late Jorge Luis Valdes, but Guille Vilar and Juan Carlos Garcia Vallín have maintained an active audience for the longest time, without pragmatism, consumerism or routine.

 
They look for the best representation of Cuban talent and foreign visitors in order to offer a colloquial dialogue about the latest productions, projects, presentations and tours of those involved in the musical art.

 
Rafael Garcia, Ricardo Paret and Mayra Garcia have been the advisors on the quality of this program for these 25 years.
 

It is worthy to remember important co-workers such as Maria Cristina Lorenzo, retired, Ramoncito Miranda and Justino Rodriguez, who bring much energy to keep the fraternity of the group.

 
The latest acquisition is Olivia Niebla, the intermediary between the audience and the staff, whose role is to respond to letters and phone calls to insert the audience into the program with messages, greetings and greetings.

The program’s sections: Soy Cubana, La Cancion y sus exitos, Anda ven y muevete and the Hit Parade and the radio concerts catch the interest of listeners and stop them in their routine tasks to learn about some important cultural events.

  But for those who ask ... and ask again, every Wednesday Pepe de Armas has a response about the inner workings of the past and today's musical world.

 
A longtime collaborator of this program is Sahily Tabares, the journalist who, with her  interviews and information on the social and cultural activities, permeates a refreshing taste to everyday life.

 
If there is something negative to say about the program is that in the latest stage there was no stability in the counterpart male voices for the talking and reading of the news. We hope that with the entry of announcer Rider Morejon Hernandez this lack is overcome.

 
What is valuable is the rescue of the best Cuban music, its distinctive hallmark and the example of authentic cultural values with a superior quality in other genres such as trova, rock, son, bolero and ballad.

 
Eternal gratitude to all those who have passed through the program, and also to the loyal audience that has received it at home.

 
Congratulations to Juventud 2000 for its 25 years, we, the listeners, the people, appreciate it.
