Cheers to the Trova! Matanzas Open House Meeting 2021 proclaims .

A closing at full speed promises this Sunday the second edition of the Matanzas Open House Troubadour Meeting 2021, characterized by its online presentation, which despite the pandemic has not been an impediment for that genre of Cuban song to take over social networks with thousands of followers in the country and the Ibero-American universe.

Four days where the Trova and many of its beloved exponents have shone. Matanzas is a host respected for the continuous presence and creativity of singer-songwriters and groups belonging to the movement during its five decades of existence.

This province maintains as a paradigm the interest of young people to rescue the genre, with the example of the 1980s. It is even suggested that singer-songwriters today reflect, from music, the social environment where they develop as they did since the beginning.

With that feeling, this Sunday the closing of the event dedicated in the morning to commemorate the awards of the stellar duo Lien Rodríguez and Rey Pantoja, which will feature a concert of their main hits on YouTube and the conference Lien y Rey: my devotion to the death, by the musicologist Lourdes Fernández Valhuerdi and Un abrazo para Lien y Rey, by Alfredo Zaldívar, transmitted from the Facebook pages.  

Also on that platform, at four o’clock in the afternoon in the space paid to the troubadours, will perform Tania Moreno, the Swiss-Chilean Mia Mohr and Lindiana Murphy. Then at six, a special with Rey Pantoja, on YouTube, will be followed by Ireno García and in the evening Roly Berrio and Yoraima Orozco on Facebook. Casa Abierta Matanzas 2021 ends with the download of Rey Pantoja and Frank Mitchel on the Telegram channel.

 

 

 

Press the guitar and the verse in Matanzas sprouts through social networks, as exponents of the richness of our national culture.

Referring to the powerful movement, which I feel is rooted and precise in its communicational language, Vicente Feliú has said:

“Our guideline was to create a song that is increasingly cultured, more beautiful, attached to literature and poetics. This is how the trova movement has been and continues to be and, therefore, this has always been the concept of the troubadour song. “
