 I returned to the National Colloquium on Cultural Journalism. It has now reached its ninth edition. Inevitably, I found myself remembering the first one, back in 2018. A severe weather alert threatened to derail the event, but the participants came anyway. They crossed the country however they could to gather in Camagüey and talk about a profession that, then as now, was facing its own uncertainties.

 Each year, to mark International Dance Day, a leading figure from the world of dance delivers a message shared with professionals and organizations in more than 200 countries.

Among the excerpts the Camagua Folkloric Company will perform this Saturday, April 11th, at the Avellaneda Theater is Chancleteando. Today, part of the group’s established repertoire, the piece also serves as a symbolic bridge to an unexpected image: a young Fernando Medrano dancing. For decades, Medrano has been publicly defined by his leadership—the director, the researcher, the guide—rather than the performer. And yet, a photograph shared during the recent theoretical session returns him to that origin: a teenager, still in secondary school, performing the very dance of the chancleta.

  Even amid rehearsals at its headquarters on Lugareño Street No. 128, Rumbatá’s director, Wilmer Ferrán, has a clear sense of direction: the group is navigating a period of artistic redefinition, international expansion, and renewed recording ambitions. At the heart of this new phase lies a defining goal—getting their upcoming album into the Grammys’ consideration process.

  Recetofilia is a book that overflows with passion. Those of us who know its author, Camagüey-born writer Evelin Queipo, understand that everything she creates is shaped by the pursuit of perfection that defines her.

 The folkloric company Camagua will mark its 15th anniversary with a program that, while shaped by the constraints of Cuba’s current economic situation, offers a broad look at the different facets of its artistic work.
