Radio 26’s giant leaves an immense void.

Nostalgia hovers over Radio 26 like a shadow, while the memory of his love, dedication and passion for the station become a balm for the pain that runs one by one through the corridors of his big house.

The news spread last night like a heartbreaking echo: Edel Febles has died. The great radio broadcaster from Matanzas, the giant of Radio 26 leaves an immense void in the hearts of those who knew him.

Edel was not only a great program director; he was also an artist of sound, a weaver of stories that connected the audience with life itself. His dedication and passion led him to direct for many years emblematic programs such as Frecuencia Abierta, Desde México, Rumores de Tierra Adentro and the beloved Guateque Dominical.

Nostalgia hovers over Radio 26 like a shadow, while the memory of his love, dedication and passion for the station become a balm for the pain that runs one by one through the corridors of his big house.

Last night Matanzas radio lost one of its most faithful sons, but his legacy will remain intact in our sound heritage where his work is inscribed in its own right.

Edel’s name will always be in the memories of 26, will remain in the everlasting memory of those of us who had the privilege of working with him, of those of us who shared a coffee with him, and now, we also share the pain of his departure. Farewell, my friend.
