WINNING CARTAGENERA
Oh, breakwater ...
My heart is still waiting for you
Next to the breakwater
Where the breakwater starts,
Where the beach is alone
The spring nights.
The Jury dedicated a special mention to the letter identified with the number 14, of which Francisco J. Paredes Rubio is the author.
CARTAGENERA SPECIAL MENTION
Oh, cartagenera ...
Red was the one who created
The copla Cartagena,
Piñana fame gave
And his lyrics with hearth
Jorquera immortalized.
The award ceremony will be held on Saturday, June 16 at 9:00 pm, in the courtyard of the School of Business Sciences (former CIM).
