The Science Museum (MUCI)
welcomed Christmas this November 1 with a concert by the Otilio Galíndez
Afro-Venezuelan Orchestra, which belongs to the nucleus of the 23 de
Enero parish, which offered a repertoire of traditional rhythms from different regions of the country.
The group performed
pieces such as “Correla, Correla”, “Ramito”, “The Feast” and a medley of themes from
Maracaibo 15, to accompany the meeting with which the institution welcomed the holiday season, according to a note from the Ministry for Culture.
The Deputy Minister for the Promotion
of the Cultural Economy, Rosario Soto, attended the activity and highlighted the
value of these initiatives to share with the family and celebrate Venezuelan traditions.
“These activities
make us feel at home because this is a tradition (...) Starting these
festivities with the rhythm imbued by the Otilio
Galíndez Afro-Venezuelan Orchestra undoubtedly reminds us of what it is to be Venezuelan,” he said.
The day was preceded
by the blessing of the crib installed in the enclosure. In turn, Ingrid Briceño, the museum's chief education
specialist, expressed her satisfaction with the public's
receptivity and noted that the program seeks to provide
recreational spaces for people of different ages.
