The Sea of ​​Music approached the reality of the neighborhoods and councils of Cartagena during the celebration of the third edition of La Mar de Barrios, which connects the festival with the cultural diversity that exists in the city.
Thus, workshops, games, dances and musical performances took place on Monday, July 23 at the Mediterranean Urbanization, neighborhood chosen in this twenty-fourth edition of the Festival.
As usual, La Mar de Músicas is not only in the center, but this intercultural festival, in addition to promoting music, seeks neighborhoods and councils to get involved, for which it has developed a wide range of parallel activities.
With the collaboration of the Department of Culture, Equality and Social Services of the City of Cartagena, as well as different associations, groups and the coordinators of the neighborhoods of San Antón and the Mediterranean Urbanization, this past Monday, from 19:00 hours, the Plaza de la Asociación de Vecinos welcomed the thousand people who came to enjoy the concerts and activities programmed within the framework of La Mar de Barrios.
The programming of La Mar de Barrios began in the early afternoon with a storyteller in charge of the Young Bahais, followed by a spectacular display of aerial acrobatics (Asoc The Jumps Parkour), another taekwondo (Taekwondo Cartagena) ), a musical performance by the Percussion Group Kasa Onipa Ho (Asoc. de Ghaneses in Cartagena), Indian dance Bhangra (Red Cross), typical Ecuadorian dances of the Tunguragua Group (Asoc. Santisima Virgen de Chilla), as well as a large number of varied activities in charge of all the participating associations and groups.
At the end of the afternoon, the musical program started by the La Mar de Músicas organization began, with a family show, by the renowned artist Fuman MusicoLoco, which amused and thrilled both the youngest and the oldest.
In order to receive the night, a lively parade was performed by the Afro-Brazilian percussion group Conire, which put the large audience that gathered at the venue to dance.
From there, the fun Boni Pinchamundos began with the first of his sessions (he would later be in charge of closing this edition at midnight), in which he played world music, a proposal that invited the dance.
Finally, Loremba jumped on stage, a group that mixes mestizo music with reggae in the purest Jamaican style, without doubt one of the most authentic musical proposals that have passed this year on the stage of La Mar de Barrios.
The election of the neighborhood of the Urb. Mediterranean, according to the Councilor for Culture, David Martínez Noguera, in his visit to the activity, "is because it meets the conditions of multiculturalism and characteristics that have been sought in these three years to the development of La Mar de Barrios, being a neighborhood with social and associative fabric.
It approaches in this way the reality of the city, whose neighborhoods show a human landscape of many colors, languages ​​and accents, in which a good percentage of the population is foreign. "
Martinez said at the same time "that this expansion of La Mar de Músicas that brings culture to the neighborhoods is the result of an excellent, transversal work of Culture and Social Services that covers many groups, indicating that the municipal government always goes to be with people. "
