RAE ARGENTINA TO THE WORLD

Argentina honors its front-line health workers

This Thursday, at 20.30 Argentine time (23.30 UTC) a tribute will be paid to Argentina's health workers, who've been at the front of the war against coronavirus. The event will be held at the CCK (city of Buenos Aires) on the National Vaccinator's Day, which is marked every August 26, in commemoration of the birth of the late Dr. Albert Sabin, the Polish-American virologist who developed the polio vaccine.

The Ministry of Health has organized an "Applause Concert" with musical direction and piano by renown musician Lito Vitale, featuring great figures of Argentine popular music: David Lebón, Marcela Morelo, Juan Carlos Baglietto, Elena Roger, Nahuel Pennisi and Julia Zenko.

The concert will be broadcast live on Thursday, August 26th at 20:30 Argentina time (23.30 UTC), through TV Pública, its Youtube channel and the Contar.ar platform.

As a preview, let's listen to Mundo agradable, a song by David Lebón.
