The last Minstrel’s picture
During the last five years, I used to talk to “Bebo” (Roberto) Ruiz, a Cuban playwright and a theater professor, at Eduardo Garcia Delgado Art Instructors´ School, where he unfortunately passed away.
Roberto used to talk about many topics on his conversations, radio among them, a means of communication he would have loved to add to his long curriculum.
Dancing with La Conga de Los Hoyos
Felix Bandera explains with pride: “We filmed Añoranza por la conga (Yearning for Conga), that videoclip by Sur Caribe, here in the neighborhood, at El Campito. It was very special and swept at the Lucas TV awards”.
He looks at the house of the former director of La Conga de Los Hoyos , Sebastian Herrera Zapata (Chan), and evokes that stage where the also celebrated group from Santiago made history because of its way of combining the bugle with percussion instruments.Yumié Rodríguez: Like Mother, Like Daughter
