LATIN AMERICAN MODEL

Special thanks to Charlot Izako Mustafa and Productions Charlot
for the perfect organization of the event.
The Magdalena River which is flowing to the sea, passes the
iridescent shore of the riparian delighted villages and
amphibious cultures recreated by Fals Borda, plays in “El
Banco” rocking the most gorgeous establishing river that one
can imagine and that serves the scene at the Imperialato
Nacional de la Cumbia, since years directed by Veruschka
Barros, daughter of the author of the Piragua.
I have been closely linked to the Festival as jury or orator for
several years, and during the XXVIII version in 2012, the
Viceroyalty was taken by the ocañera Nadya Jacome, who
danced the Machetilla with an impeccable choreography of
Juan Carlos Parra, identified as a dance of Norte de
Santander, but I was dissatisfied with the movement of the
shoulders and the sway of the machetes, the first because it
appears to me a detracted elegance and second because it
evokes violence, then I wanted them to submit a new proposal.
