50 years anniversary
Yes, you heard right… 50 year’s anniversary for the “Cortez brothers”. I went there with my “host mother” Carolina and her friends (Carolina in the middle wearing purple). It was a big happening, and everybody was very excited. I was the only foreign person, and for sure the only one who had never heard about the famous “Cortez brothers”. I'm grateful for having had this opportunity of experiencing such a authentic cultural and traditional event.
The music was fantastic and it was easy to like. The front singers were four hot guys that also danced quite sexy, that we all went crazy from the first song. It was not like in Norway that you normally drink before you dance, but straight to the point! Out on the dancefloor. The music was a mix of salsa and combia. Great success! :)
I was a bit tired after the welcome party, but I awoke after dancing for some hours. They asked me where I learnt to dance like that. They had heard that people from Scandinavia normally doesn’t know how to dance. So I take that as a compliment.
The night had a surprising turn when we were middle in the concert more or less. Suddenly one of the singers said: AND NOW, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The original” Cortéz-brothers”. I thought they were already playing, but they were only family of the Cortéz brothers. In came some really old (viejitos) guys and everybody went all emotional. They were so old that they needed help to walk in. For me as a foreigner an interesting experience.:)
We walked home together, and Carolina and her friends are so nice to me. I feel very welcome here, and they include me even though I don't always understand what they are saying.
