Representantes cubanos enriquecen el Festival con actuaciones de alto nivel.

With the exhibition of graphic samples in different cities of the Mexican State of Quintana Roo, the Caribbean Festival of Culture started with good winds. This year event was dedicated to Cuba and covered dissimilar artistic expressions.
This time Quintana Roo exhibited the more refined work of its visual artists and artisans. Additionally, the photos of archaeological remains and the findings of an underground cave of Tulum which have made scientists think about human origins.
Inside the big party it was also inserted the Youth Festival, with alternatives presented by musical bands and singers of Mexico, Colombia, Belize and Cuba, as well as cooking demonstrations, development of murals, and film and visual arts samples.
Similarly, a symposium intended to reflect on the theater flowed with some success, which was accompanied by a day of theatrical performances. Trova singers from Mexico, Spain and Colombia, such as Mexicanto, Alejandro Filio, Pedro Guerra, Fernando Delgadillo and Santiago Cruz, also took part in the festival. 
The festival was further enriched with the participation of representatives from Cuba. Isaac Delgado and Gente de Zona, the traditional Orquesta Aragon, and the famous groups Adalberto Álvarez y su Son and Charanga Habanera shared scenario with Margarita, the goddess of Colombian cumbia and Bernie Velazquez a Belizean talent…
Despite some logistic mismatches, cross information and perhaps too much attention to music over other art forms, the festival experienced positive comments about the staging of the Colombian theater company Maldita Vanidad, interpretations of the tenor Joel Montero, who sings the identifying theme of the festival. Moreover, encouraging reviews on singer Alison Hinds from Trinidad and Tobago and the valuable representation of Cuba and the increased presence of local art were registered in that continuous learning that occurs in this Caribbean Festival of Culture, along with the blue waves.
