CAMAGÜEY.- The song Vamo' a ver, by the authors Dawlyn Wiliam Aldana Boudet and Rubén Aldana Lorenzo, was the winner of the contest organized by the Office of the Historian of the City of Camagüey (OHCC) and the Provincial Center of Music and Entertainment to select the identifying theme of the campaign for the 510th anniversary of the former town of Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe, current Camagüey.

According to information from the Department of Institutional Communication of the OHCC, published on its profile on the social network Facebook, nine works responded to the call to select the one that best captured the essence of Camagüey, in a creative way, with innovative musical techniques and authentically Cuban sounds.

The jury was made up of professionals from the aforementioned cultural institutions and chaired by Norberto Puente, director of the Maravilla de Florida orchestra, and José Rodríguez Barreras, head of the Office of the Historian of the City.

According to the opinion shared by the OHCC about the winning composition, it “contains rich lyricism in its melody, as well as an excellent harmonic treatment of ingenious creativity, it has an excellent formal structure, both in the text and in the treatment of the genre ( Son), and the final sound result gives us a product that is as refined as it is popular.”

“After the necessary musical and production arrangements are completed, the song will be available for the enjoyment of the people of Camagüey,” adds the aforementioned source. Likewise, it stands out that the musical piece will accompany the celebrations and actions contemplated in the communication strategy for the 510 years of the founding of the former Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe town.
