With an ingenious caricature on the cover by Arístides Hernández (ARES) and a prologue by his son Alberto Luberta Martínez, this book is published as part of the actions in tribute to the centenary of Radio in Cuba.

Alberto Damián Luberta Noy was born on September 27, 1931 in the Pogolotti district of the capital's municipality of Marianao. He has been considered a legend of Cuban broadcasting and won the 2001 National Prize for Humor and the 2002 National Prize for Radio.

His great work was the very popular satirical-musical program Alegrías de Sobremesa, transmitted by the Radio Progreso station since April 15, 1965. He served as director of several spaces, wrote novels and other types of spaces for television.

Died on January 23, 2017, Luberta Noy was a clandestine member of the July 26 Movement and had to go into exile in Venezuela. In 1983 he joined the Cuban Artistic Brigade that toured from “Cabinda to Cunene” in Angola.

Cuban radio was transmitted for the first time, experimentally, on August 22, 1922, by Station 2LC, located at Animas 99 (current No. 457) in Havana, which began its transmissions with the cannon shot at 9 a.m. the night, with musical spaces, the state of the time and the service of the hour.

Although radio station 2LC is the first to put its signal on the ether from Cuban soil, it is not considered as the date that marks the official start of radio in Cuba, which is established on October 10, 1922, when the PWX station, whose equipment was installed in the Central Building of the Empresa Telefónica Cuban Telephone Company, at Calle del Águila No. 161.
