 Music students attending secondary schools on the island got the opportunity to interface with Mexican band Adrián Arupaz-Otrío during a workshop and mini-concert which took place at the National Cultural Center on Thursday. The workshop targeted primarily students with an interest in the jazz genre. It was made possible through the collaborative effort of the Mexican Embassy in San Lucia, the government of San Lucia and the San Lucia School of Music. As you may be aware, as part of the legacy of the festival and there is an educational component, there's always an educational component and in this case the San Lucia School of Music is always happy to partner with those agencies to be able to give those rare opportunities to our students to see those wonderful and spectacular musicians. The workshop also provided an opportunity for the students to practice the listening as well as the analytical skills to their very important component of the CXC Music Program. We embrace opportunities like that for students to interact with international artists, world-renowned artists' talent so that hopefully they can be inspired and motivated and also to practice their listening skills, their ability to analyze music which is a very important part of the CXC program. So I think it's a good opportunity and I'm hoping that by the end of it they would have learned a lot and like I said be inspired to continue with the music. Meantime, Adru and Adru Perzo Triu's first performance at the CXJAR's festival was held on Thursday evening at the National Cultural Center. The band is scheduled to perform at the Quantum Gardens in Ancelary on Saturday. Maybe in Latin America we have a very rich culture, an amazing culture in food, in music, very kind of music, folkloric music. So the idea is to mix a little bit this folkloric music with the jazz tradition, with the European harmony and culture and this is the mix and thus it's what jazz is so amazing music. Such collaboration could only augur well for the development of music in schools. From the Government Information Service, Julia Tepita reporting.
