Once more the Marti Theater becomes site of the festivities for the Day of the Troubadour, a day of tribute to José Pepe Sánchez, father of the troubadour song. So the song to love and to the woman came on the voices and the sounds of the Asi son duo, in the province of Cienfuegos, giving way to the recognition to a thoroughbred from Santiago: José Aquiles, songwriter with 30 years of artistic life and 36 years in the Nueva Trova Movement.
On this occasion, the Provincial Music Center of Santiago de Cuba also distinguished the work of Lino Betancourt, journalist and musicologist with significant contributions to the Festival of the Trova and the recognition of his devotees across the country.
The applause was extended to José Julián Padilla (grandson of Pepe Sánchez), who celebrates his 70 years, with a good portion of them dedicated to the promotion of the Cuban music from the CMKC radio Station and the Siboney Studios of the EGREM in Santiago Cuba, and to Eduardo Rosillo, presenter accurately using the microphones to enhance the best of our national rhythms. |

 The bolero is "the first great voice synthesis of the Cuban music" and the musicologist Helio Orovio says that before there were only" little songs." Tristezas (1883) is therefore our first bolero. This city of Santiago, musical par excellence, has in Don Pepe Sánchez, owner of a moving and subtle poetry, invincible and eternal, that flies in time, the father not only of the bolero, but also of the trova. Trova is synonymous with guitar and poetry, rum, love and street jam sessions. At least that is how it was in his infancy in the nineteenth century. Of the original ditties and the invasion of troubadours, the great maestros were reached. The city was an infinite seed-bed of a tradition that is still alive. |

 I was always impressed by this lady from Santiago. I was drawn to the rhythm and melody of her voice that fits her carve. Fátima Patterson has just reached her forty years of artistic life. She was born in Santiago and her parents in Holguin, her house was spring where she drnak since early ages of his father's musical virtuosity, and sadness, turned tenderness and song, of a mother who treasured in her heart the indelible imprints of slavery, because there is no doubt that from the suffering sprouts the best works. Benny Moré, Pacho Alonso, Miguel Ángel Ortiz and Mariano Mercerón, were figures who in a close relationship with their fathers, also carved with their artistic sap, the sensitive and stoic spirit of this universal figure, who qualifies her responsibility and demanding with others and with herself, with a broad and permanent smile. |

 As part of the activities of the Month of the Francophonie and as happy announcement of the Máscara de Caoba Festival (March 27-31), the Calibán Teatro group premiered, at the headquarters of the , on last weekend, the play Traga-tierra, thanks to a collective work of the actors Orlando González and Maikel Eduardo Santiago, the choreographer Yanoski Suárez and the French dramatist Cristine Matos. The show built a metaphor of the marginality, with its hard and heartbreaking poetry. A work of synthesis and conceptualization, supported by an exquisite and powerful soundtrack, which includes most diverse shades, from the daily violence to the most intimate lyricism, as well as in images and a few essential scenic elements to reveal nuances and transitions. Calibán Teatro achieves in this staging an integral picture of the helplessness, the anguish and anger of the marginalized people of the world. |

 With a packed Cabildo Teatral Santiago on the Saturday 13th, at 8:30 pm, the group Gestus premiered the drama La cena de los miércoles. The conflict of a loving mother but authoritarian towards a son who faced her for having a different sexual preference, is played by Odalys Ferrer and Yusniel Sojo, under the direction of Ramón Pardo. The scenography by Eduardo Guasch turned out to be beautiful and functional thanks to the complementation that generated with the plot of the play. Meanwhile José Aquiles Virelles, widely known as a troubadour and composer, was responsible for the liability of the soundtrack. Odalis Ferrer is a renowned actress. Thanks to her charisma, she gave the character of the mother a great strength and multiple hues. The young Yusniel Sojo assumed the difficult acting challenge and he overcame. His character of the son under the family and social pressures, but that is becoming aware of the need to express his deepest and true feelings, was worthily interpreted by this recent graduate of the Academy of Arts in Santiago de Cuba. |
