Richel Fernández, a member of the Polichinela group, expressed the willingness of the actors to advise the cultural promoters of the neighborhoods and overcome the barriers of lack of resources or transportation so as not to stop the activities and bring them closer to the peripheral neighborhoods of the city.
In turn, other representatives of the theater referred to the strengths of the performing arts in community work, with experiences of great value in the extension to remote areas of the municipalities, as well as their dissatisfaction with the lack of support to materialize a new project that would take art to remote villages and popular councils.
Felipe Rodríguez, a musician, warned of the need for the artistic education system to include peasant and Yoruba music in its programs, as well as to ensure that the product offered to tourism responds to the genuine values of the national culture.
Orlando Pino Amores, director of Musicávila, was precise in stating that the teaching of typical instruments such as the tres should be promoted, as well as preventing the shows that are presented to tourism from being a projection of international trends, disregarding the promotion of the values of the national culture.
