A Painful Return

Antonio is now 25 years old and all weekends must travel to a city in the interior of the country to play at a tourist restaurant with a musical ensemble (Creole) to accompany singers both from the capital and the place. Antonio travels with the musical ensemble that touches on the premises and that is formed by four people. The music that is played is folk music, music of the coast of our country. The musicians who comprise this musical group are: a first guitar (Javier), a second guitar (Antonio), a cajonero (Felipe), and a castanuelero (Jorge) when Antonio began to dabble in the Creole music running the guitar always rodeo people older than the. Members of this ensemble were older than him, and the age difference was more than 20 years. This means that Antonio to his 25 years played with guitarist over 40. On some occasions traveled with them singers in the capital, singing how stellar in the premises. The artistic presentation developed in the following manner: the days of presentation were the days Friday and Saturday, from nine in the evening at three in the morning.

Six hours of show, interspersed with dance music’s album, a moment in time. Artists that were presented were two of the capital, one stellar and other less known, and three of the place. To travel to that city, the musicians had to leave on Friday morning, and arrived at night. They were installed in the hotel and on the fly were preparing for work. After the presentation they withdrew to rest. The next day took breakfast in the room, more afternoon lunch at the same site, and after dinner, again (or Saturday), began the show. At the end of this members retreating to rest and the day following Sunday very early departed back to the capital, this was repeated every week.
