Commemorating a new anniversary of the May Revolution, the Cultural Entity of Tucumán will present this Friday the 24th starting at 8:30 p.m. at the San Martín Theater, Av. Sarmiento 601, an Extraordinary Function called “The Youth Revolution”, which will include the participation of more than 90 young artists, including singers, musicians, dancers and actors, from different parts of the province. Entry will be by invitation.
“The idea of this show is to honor the feat of the young patriots of the May Revolution and our Independence, highlighting the fight for those same ideals that our young artists uphold today through art and culture,” states the President of the Cultural Entity, Architect Humberto Salazar.
An extensive list of artists will be part of the evening: the vocal soloists who will perform a repertoire composed exclusively of works by references of Tucuman folklore, are Andrea Medina de Monteros, Nacho Cuellar de Alderetes, Enzo García Fernández de Trancas, Facundo Rodríguez de Tafí Viejo, Nerina Guantay from Colalao del Valle, Emiliano Montini and Mariano Jarjal from San Miguel de Tucumán.
The dance team will be made up of 4 couples from the Ballet Tucma Danza led by Prof. Fredy Vaca and Prof. Lorena Arias; 6 couples from the José Hernández Ballet led by Prof. Guillermo Burgos and Prof. Carolina Palacios; 6 couples from Ballet El Arriero by Prof. Martín Correa; 6 couples from Ballet El Zafrero led by Prof. Pablo Sánchez; 8 couples from Ballet Tucumán by Prof. Nicolás Brizuela; and 8 couples from the Ashpa Misky Ballet by Prof. Pascual Huerta. All of them will offer typical dances from the different regions of the country.
Based on a performance that will be represented by the actor Augusto Alderete from Alderetes and the actress Micaela Lescano from Banda del Río Salí, historical content about the events of the week of May 1810 will be shared with those present.
Salazar highlights that all the young artists who will be part of the show come from different parts of the province, whom he met thanks to audiovisual records that were made in recent years together with the Provincial Council of Culture. “It was a desire to ensure that the entire province is represented in this gala that will take place on the most important stage in Tucumán. To this end, we are coordinating with the Provincial Council of Culture so that this Friday, on such a significant date for all Argentines, all of Tucumán is present with its young artists.”
The band that will accompany the artists throughout the show will be made up of Ariel Alberto on guitar, Leopoldo Deza on keyboard, Negro Burgo on Percussion, Abelardo García on bass and Leandro Martínez on bandoneon.
The audiovisual recording will be provided by Isaac Llovera, the scenic assistance will be provided by Sofía Seidán, the musical assistance will be provided by Prof. José María Montini, the direction of actors will be provided by Fabio Velásquez and Sebastián Menín and the musical direction will be provided by Ariel Alberto; all with the general coordination of Lic. Oscar Zamora.
The May Revolution and the role of young patriots
The May Revolution was a set of events that took place in the city of Buenos Aires, capital of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, between May 18 and 25, 1810. An autonomous government was established there that marked the beginning of the construction of the Argentine State and laid the foundations for the fight for the independence of the American colonies from Spanish rule. It was a fundamental milestone in the history of our country, paving the way for the formation of a free and sovereign nation.
In this revolutionary process, young people played a crucial role, contributing their passion and unwavering commitment to social and political transformations. During that night, the legacy of more than two centuries will reach everyone present through the energy of our young people, the strength of their voices, the magic of their dance and the clamor of their words. The representatives of the new generations of artists from our Tucumán will gather on that stage to light in the hearts, from the four cardinal points of our country, the immortal proclamation: To the great Argentine people, Cheers!
