Leonardo Tamayo Núñez

aka “Urbano”. Born 1941 in Brazo Ciquito in the Sierra Maestra.
Already with 15 years, 1946 he entered the guerrilla and became very soon a close confident of Ernesto “Ché” Guevara.

He was secretary to the Cuban Delegation at the conference of the Inter-American Social and Economic Council that met at Punta del Este in August, 1961.
In 1966 he accompanied “El Che” to Bolivia, where they tried to create, like they did in Cuba, an atmosphere to enforce a revolution. El Che was murdered during this attempt, like almost all of them. Just Urbano and other four Cuban Companions could escape and return to Cuba. Back in Cuba Tamayo worked for the Cuban military. He has been to Angola and Nicaragua as military consultant.

He is now one of three companions still alive and he just published a book about his time with Che Guevara, named “En la guerrilla junto al Che” (Together with Che in the guerrilla). He also was one of the advisers to Steven Soderbergh’s movie on the guerrilla commander, applauded in Cannes, Havana and other cities, and highly questioned in Miami. He is one of the real characters played in the Soderbegh’s film by Kahlil Méndez.
