For two days, the Stone Hall at the Palace in Balchik came alive with the colors, rhythms and spirit of Cuba.
We discovered both the familiar and the lesser-known Cuba through stories, conversations, music, dance, art and traditions. We took our first salsa steps, danced with Raul Torres and Salsa Club “Desita”, enjoyed the music of Yaneris Carbonell, and were captivated by the beautiful light show by Simeon Petrov.
On the second day, our journey to Cuba continued in a different way – with a walk through the Palace, an introduction to Cuban Spanish, a game of dominoes, a quiz, and a conversation about Latin dances and their place in Bulgaria. Children’s drawings, photographs, smiles and shared stories added even more color to this vibrant picture.
For a little while, the distant Caribbean island felt closer to Balchik – through its rhythms, colors, traditions and, above all, through the people who brought a small piece of Cuba with them.
Our sincere thanks go to Her Excellency Marieta Garcia Jordan, Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to Bulgaria, the “Bulgaria–Cuba” Friendship Association, all participants, partners and friends, as well as to everyone who joined us and shared these two special days.
“Sabor – Cuba” was part of the “Balchik – A Stage for World Cultures” series – a journey across cultures and borders, without ever having to leave the Palace.
Thank you for being part of this experience!
And now, we leave the photographs to tell the rest of the story.
¡Hasta pronto, Cuba!
