Last night's concert ended-up being somewhat disappointing. There was no live music... The show opened with the Folkloric Ballet of Merida, who offered a few dances from the state of Veracruz. They are good dancers, but it seems like these guys are everywhere - being featured somewhere in town many times per week. Overexposure? Anyhow...
The following act was a great local singer, burlesque Mexican, she was very dramatic and funny, but she sang on pre-registered music. I still enjoyed the whole thing, they really keep at it despite some obvious financial hurdles and put on shows - good on them. It seems that this city needs to figure out a way to get musicians on stage! This is surprising, because there is a great musical tradition of Trova here. Wondering if there is a new generation picking that up, I sure hope so!
Today is our last Sunday in Yucatan. Church bells ringing, Symphony concert at noon, and I believe that the Santa-Lucia park will be filled with artisans today. The weekends are lovely in the city. People work a lot here, long hours and often 6 days per week. But on weekends, and especially on Sundays, they take the time to relax and stroll around with their spouse and children, and sweethearts walk around holding hands, it's very nice. And today, we will join in.
