Music in Casco Viejo
photos by José F. Ponce

Above we had the Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional playing in the Teatro Nacional to kick off a major music festival that featured many genres and half a dozen stages around the Casco Viejo. That event was designed to bring in the crowds from near and far, and though the music was great and by attendance figures it was a big success, the ambience struck some of the people from the neighborhood as a bit "touristy." Others in the area thrive on tourism and would like to see more of the same.



Above, Los Desbandados played in Parque Bolivar, a little performance that drew no huge crowds but was a sign of the popular Casco Viejo arts scene.
