The Councilor of Culture of the City of Lorca, Agustín Llamas, together with a representative of the Squad of Aguaderas, Maria Hernandez, presented this morning the XIII Traditional Folklore Contest "Field of Lorca", which will be held this Sunday 4 December in the hermitage of the parish Lorca of Aguaderas.
The event, which includes the celebration of the XX Meeting of Gangs and will bring together more than 170 musicians, is organized by the Diputación de Aguaderas and sponsored by the Consistory Lorca.
Agustín Llamas stated that "with the arrival of December, the month quintessential is celebrated in Aguaderas the thirteenth edition of the traditional folklore contest with national character" Campo de Lorca. "This festival has its origin in the local Meeting of Gangs that Was celebrated in this hamlet in 2004, and it is from there when it takes the current format. This year the participating groups are: Cuadrilla de Purias, Cuadrilla del Tío Román de Nerpio (Albacete), Cuadrilla de Torreagüera (Murcia), Cuadrilla de Chirivel (Almeria), Animators of Caravaca de la Cruz and Cuadrilla del Campillo. It should be noted that more than 30 traditional music groups from different parts of the Spanish geography have passed through this event, including, of course, .
The Councilor for Culture has explained that "the events begin at 11:00 am with a mass sung by the crews. Later, at 12:00 hours, the crews will be located around the hermitage in three sound spaces where they will act until At 2:00 pm In this time, attendees will be able to enjoy listening to the music of the different groups, or to be encouraged and to dance.At 14 hours a break will be made to replenish forces and offer the participants a lunch. : 30 hours the invited groups will offer the stage, individually, a sample of their traditional repertoire of music and dance that will end with a trovero duel of the different scripts.
Llamas added that "although the event revolves around old popular music, during the whole morning you can enjoy other parallel activities, always related to popular customs." Samples will be made of traditional crafts, mainly objects made with esparto; Old implements, carts with oxen or mules prepared in the old style, as well as elaboration and tasting of Easter cakes and freshly baked homemade bread that is made in the Moruno oven of the hermitage.With all these activities is intended to make this contest A traditional festival framed in a rural setting at the foot of the Sierra de la Almenara, which, from both the Town Hall and Aguaderas, we invite all Lorca to join us.
It should be noted that the Squad of Aguaderas are the organizers of the event, an event that has acquired a very important weight within the panorama of the gatherings of folkloric groups throughout the Spanish uprising.
Although the activity of the gang begins at the end of the 70s, and having gone through different stages, it is not until about 6 or 7 years ago when it makes a qualitative leap and enters fully into the "circuit" of meetings and festivals.
A group formed by people who are hospitable and grateful, and who, like those of the Lorca area, distills strength and momentum.
This group of people, made a laborious work of recovery and revitalization, getting to put where it deserves the repertoire of music and dances of Ánimas de Aguaderas.
