The Councilor for Rural Development, Víctor Valverde, announced the programming of “Christmas in districts”, an initiative that the councillor started in 2015 and that he has maintained with the aim of “bringing music closer to everyone.”
The program, which is already underway, is having a very good reception. It is being held on the weekends of December (Saturday and Sunday) until Christmas Eve “and this year the program has been expanded to 41 events,” said the Oriolano councilor.
The musical groups taking part include: Unión Musical de La Aparecida, Auroros de la Cruz de Raiguero de Bonanza, Coral Aleluya de Raiguero de Bonanza, Band of Cornets and Drums of Desamparados, Nuestra Señora del Remedio Musical Association of La Matanza, Unión Musical de San Bartolomé, Juventud Musical de La Murada and Asimetria Choir of La Aparecida. Also, one more year the Association of Homeless Housewives of Desamparados will prepare roasted chestnuts to set the mood for some activities.
