WH T A ’SON NATIONAL & HAVAN A ! HISTORICAL DAYS

NOV 16: ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF THE CITY OF HAVANA by Victoria Alcalá

The Villa de San Cristóbal de La Habana was founded on November 16, 1519, with the first mass being held under a ceiba tree on the former domain of the aboriginal chief Habaguanex. Today, El Templete (a small neo-classical building constructed in the early 19th century to commemorate the first mass) bears witness to that event and on November 15, thousands of people walk three times round the ceiba tree and ask for a wish. Read full articles

Havana, November 15, 2010. Hundreds of people wait at the door of the former Palace of the Captains General, today Museum of the City, for a curious procession to begin. The motley crowd is composed of smiling youths and solemn elderly people, couples with their children and grandparents with their grandchildren, lovers and lonely hearts. Many are wearing their everyday clothes; others, their Sunday best and even new clothes for the occasion.

It’s 6 o’clock and the chimes of the bells from the Castillo de La Real Fuerza announce that the ceremony is about to start. Preceded by children from nearby schools who carry the silver maces that once belonged to the council of Havana, and accompanied by a group of his collaborators, Eusebio leal Spengler, Historian of the City of Havana, exits the Palace of the Captains General. Someone cries: "Here comes Leal!" and the people who have been waiting hours for this moment quickly join the procession and walk across the Plaza de Armas to the Templete.

The Templete is a small neo-classical building constructed in the early 19th century to commemorate the first mass and council held in the town of San Cristóbal de La Habana (the fifth one founded by the Spanish) on November 16, 1519.

Although Leal's words are always received with pleasure, the crowd seems to be impatient. The historian, who for many years has headed the procession, has sensed this and is brief. He reminds his listeners that the actual founding of what is now the capital of the Republic of Cuba took place in 1514 to the south of the island in Batabanó. Commenting on the fact that Havana will commemorate its half millennium in a few years, Leal said: "I sincerely hope that all of us may be here in 2019 to celebrate Havana’s 500th anniversary. But now let us rejoice that we are here today celebrating the relocation of that initial camp to the south which was transformed into a town and became San Cristóbal de La Habana.”

HAVANA’S MAGIC CIRCUS by Juliet Barclay

El Circo has a long history in Cuba. During the eighteenth century, “jugglers, magicians, mime artists and tightrope walkers” performed during the feast of Corpus Christi and in the 19th century an equestrian show opened in a vacant lot near to where the Capitolio now stands. Dozens of smaller travelling shows went from town to town throughout the island.

FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE COROS (INTERNATIONAL CHORUS FESTIVAL) Sala de Conciertos Dolores, Santiago de Cuba

It was in the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba where the first known choir pieces in the Island were composed by Havana-born composer Esteban Salas (1725-1803), who for years was chapel master. Honouring this tradition, in 1961 Electo Silva, who has been for decades director of Orfeón Santiago, organized the First Choir Festival. Throughout the years, choral groups from different countries have also participated in the festival together with their Cuban counterparts, winners at prestigious international competitions. An intensive programme of concerts in theatres, schools, factories, hospitals and public squares characterizes these days in which audiences can enjoy the best of the repertoires of choral music.
