Music in Sancti Spíritus
Music is a distinctive feature of the province, it is an emblem, a wonderful dash: punto, tonada, trova, son. The trova is perhaps its most generous contribution.
Pensamiento, Mujer perjura, Herminia, Nenúfar, Canto a Cabaiguán, La Trinitaria, top the endless list in a lyric that synthesizes the intimate spirit of the amatory in the Cuban trova. Teofilito, Companioni, Manolo Gallo, Sigifredo Mora, Arturo Alonso, Catalina Berroa, Rafael Saroza, Rafael Rodríguez, are names of the gallery of glories of music in Sancti Spíritus.
In their musical works, they have preserved the daily life of Sancti Spíritus, from generation to generation, from the colony to present day, taking into account the characteristics of the time and those of the present moment, but always preserving their essential features.
The harpsichord choirs, born more than a hundred years ago; the cabildos, touches and dances; the Agricultural and Industrial Fair, with exhibitions of the development in these branches, competition of bull riding, rodeos and traditional peasant games, constitute samples of the local culture.
