Continuing with «Cultura en acción», by inscription only etc. etc. — man, it does take spontaneity out of the equation. No more “shall we check it out tonight, or maybe not” stuff.
- 3 July: Ron Voodoo @ Museo Castillo de Mata, Calle Domingo Guerra del Río, 147
- When the name of the band is better than anything else about the band, their performance is bound to be somewhat disappointing. A bunch of middle-aged men playing the 1980s-style pop-rock is not exactly our shot of rum but, as Tamara said, «пусть цветут все цветы». Which, as I just learned, is a Russian version of the Chinese phrase 百花齊放, “Let a hundred flowers bloom”. Another day, another bit of useless knowledge. At least, the setting was spectacular.
- 4 July: Yanet Sierra Muñoz «Ellas» @ Auditorio José Antonio Ramos, Parque Doramas
- The Cuban singer, accompanied by Fofi Lusson (guitar, bass), Totó Noriega (percussion) and Rayko León (piano),
payed her very personal tribute to the composers Isolina Carrillo (Dos gardenias), María Grever, Conny Méndez, Herminia Naranjo, Violeta Parra (Gracias a la Vida), Marta Valdés,
Consuelo Velázquez (Bésame mucho) and María Teresa Vera (Veinte años).
- 16 July: Trío Gabriel Rodó «Un verano de cine» @ Palacete Rodríguez Quegles, calle Benito Pérez Galdós, 4
- Liliana Mesa (violin), Pilar Bolaños (chello) and Ana Marrero (piano) took us on a cinematic journey, from Mozart, Haendel, Schubert and Boccherini to Ennio Morricone, Leonard Bernstein and John Williams. Fantastic.
