CULTURA EN TRINIDAD
499 años de
fundación de la villa La santísima Trinidad
A pesar de
que este año se ahorraron recursos para celebrar en grande los próximos 500
años de la ciudad, con mis expectativas bien bajas me fui a la calle, ¡esta
ciudad me sorprendió!, arte por doquier, música, pintura, artesanos de la
Habana, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara se acercan a la añeja villa para vender sus
variados artículos, zapatos, ropas, bisutería hechos a mano por experimentados
artistas, animando a los oriundos a comprar sus bellezas. Eventos que atraen a
la juventud y a los no tan jóvenes, body art, música rock, en el patio de la
casa de la cultura y en su plazoleta ensayos para lo que será en la noche el espectáculo
afrocubano, en la plaza cultural música de los años 60/70 y en la calle Borrel Reggaeton y Salsa para los mas jóvenes, comida, piña colada, cerveza, una gran
fiesta!!!
Otrora
villa que abre sus brazos a Foráneos de todas partes de Cuba y del mundo, que
vienen a disfrutar de esta semana cultural, mezclando las palmeras de las
playas con la salsa y espectáculos nocturnos, noble, vieja y hermosa ciudad que
no discrimina en raza, color, ni sexo; para ella, todos son bienvenidos.
Disfrutemos entonces de sus bondades y cuidémosla para que nos reciba
majestuosa y orgullosa otros 500 años más.

CULTURE IN TRINIDAD
499 years of the founding of the town's Holy Trinity
Although resources were saved this year in order to have a big
party to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the city, with my rather
low expectations, I ventured out into the streets, and the city surprised
me! Art everywhere, music, painting,
artisans from Havana, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara came to this old town to sell
their various items; shoes, clothes, handmade jewellery by experienced artists,
encouraging the natives to buy their beauties. Events that attract young and the
not so young; body art, rock music, in the courtyard of the Casa de la Cultura and
in its square rehearsals for the evenings events; Afro-Cuban music, in the cultural
square 60s/70s music and in Borrel Street, Reggaeton and Salsa for the young;
food, piña coladas, beer, a great party!
A former village that opens its arms to outsiders from all
over Cuba and the world, who come to enjoy this cultural week, mixing the palm trees
on the beaches with Salsa and evening shows.
This noble, old and beautiful city does not discriminate against race,
colour, or even gender, everyone is welcome. So let’s enjoy all of its marvels and
take care of our beautiful city so that it can continue to serve us
majestically and proudly for another 500 years.
