“How hypocritical”, “Does this approve?”, “Nothing more despicable than to see ‘Sandra Cuevas’ written as if she were a sonidera after the dispossession of a public space” and “Why waste “Is she all cultural, it seems Dolores Umbridge” were some of the comments that could be read.

On the day they were removed, staff from Cuauhtémoc Town Hall arrived on the scene to cut off the noise and evict people who danced in front of the Kiosko Morisco park, where the installation of sound equipment had not been authorized due to alleged complaints from residents.

It was like that from moment to moment, the dance steps and the musical rhythms were replaced by shout and shove between neighbors and local authorities. After a few moments of confrontation and resounding exchanges of words, the situation managed to control itself and did not worsen.

Despite the situation, the Sincelejo Sound seeks to remain at the Santa María bandstand. This band has been playing for 12 years, that’s why its members are looking for new alternatives to reoccupy its traditional corridor.
