| Cuba Conga: An Ever Catching Rhythm, 12/25/08 Arnaldo Sánchez Durruthy As it always happens, it has been a prelude to the legendary Charangas of Bejucal, one of the most ancient popular parties in Cuba. The tenth Conga Festival in Bejucal town, west of Havana, has left the people happy and exhausted of dancing with one of the most stimulating musical genres. As it always happens, it has been a prelude to the legendary Charangas of Bejucal, one of the most ancient popular parties in Cuba. This year’s rhythm and excitement were in the hands of “Los Tamborcitos de Bejucal,” a band of young musicians, and “Las tamboreras,” a folkloric group of women who took part in this great party for the first time. But in this kind of events there are always surprises. This time it involves Osvaldo Álvarez Guzmán, a blind artist from the Alfonso Ivaé Community project sponsored by the Union of Cuban Writers and Artists. He was the winner in the five-string guitar competition. The Bejucal conga festival, which made people of all ages dance over and over, also marked the end of the ninth Cubaché 2008 rumba and conga workshop, held for two days in the almost 300-year-old locality of Bejucal. -- http://www.cubanow.net/pages/loader.php?sec=4&t=2&item=6077 |
