It must be the apprehensive, the catchy of Cuban culture, which makes that one finds trace  of it anywhere in the world where it took place.
The Teresa Carreño, monumental theater of Caracas, has these traces. On the walls of Bohemian coffee La Patana, for example, the pictures of personalities of the island predominate. And in the room Jose Félix Ribas can still be heard the rumor of the Cuban key that marked the tempo of the instrumental concert Cuba in Venezuela. In the format of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Venezuela, under the baton of Enrique Perez Mesa, titular director of the Cuban National Symphony, were interpreted popular pieces of the staff of Cuba.
“They could not be static in front of the lectern. If they do not move, Cuban music does not work, and  they assimilated it with enthusiasm”, said the Master to Arte por Excelencia. “It is a very serious way of interpreting our programm, a new vocabulary that they were learning, and that in just three rehearsals I managed to have them to understand them. Even a violinist took care of the percussion”.
“The program exploits very well the different families of the orchestra, not only the percussion, which always prevails in popular music, but the winds, the chords, the metals ... helped by the desire to work of this wonderful Philharmonic, integrated by musicians of different generations  that make it of high level, interesting, apprehensive and restless”, said Perez Mesa.
For Julio Segarra, principal of percussion, the experience was enriching and enjoyable: “It always happens with invited directors of high prestige, like the Master Perez Mesa, pleasant and calm. He expressed what he wanted, while we interpret according to his baton and his wishes that we thoroughly enjoyed the music of the Island”.
