The Committee for July 26 (cover design: unknown; artwork contributors: Casa de las Americas, Downtown Community Television Center, The Exhibitionists Inc., The Five Towns Forum), "In Concert with Cuba '77: End the Blockade," July 26, 1977.

"In Concert with Cuba '77: End the Blockade" commemorated the 24th anniversary of the July 26, 1953 attack on the Moncada Barracks, which sparked the Cuban Revolution. The program's cover brilliantly appropriates Hokusai's iconic "Great Wave off Kanagawa," reimagining the cresting wave in shades of turquoise and navy blue against a vibrant sky—visual metaphor for the powerful momentum of solidarity movements working to "END THE BLOCKADE." This creative recontextualization of Japanese woodblock aesthetics connected international artistic traditions with anti-imperialist politics, suggesting that movements for liberation, like ocean waves, possess unstoppable force.

Organized by the Committee for July 26 and held in New York City, this concert represented a significant victory in the struggle to end cultural isolation, as the U.S. government had finally granted visas to Los Papines—the first Cuban musicians permitted to visit the United States since 1961. The event featured an extraordinary lineup including the Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble, Pete Seeger, Congressman Ronald V. Dellums, and Cuban performers Los Papines, alongside presentations about the World Festival of Youth and Students. By linking Cuban achievements to U.S. struggles for social justice, the program articulated how "music, song and dance are both a testimony and a weapon that strengthens our spirit and our dedication." This cultural solidarity event demonstrated how the Cuba solidarity movement used popular music and dance to build coalitions across racial and political lines, challenging Cold War divisions through people-to-people exchange.
