The images above and to the left are from Merida en Domingo on July
25, 2004. This is a street festival that is held every Sunday in the
main square or zocalo of Mérida. Every last Sunday of the month
there is a special 2-hour dance with 2 bands playing classic Cuban
music of the 40's-50's, danzon, mambo, and more. This couple is the
king and queen of the dance -- they form part of a group of regulars
that you can see dancing every Tuesdays nights in Santiago Park to
Cuban danzon, Saturdays on Calle 60 to salsa, and Sundays in the Zocalo
to cumbia. (photo Quetzil Castañeda)
