A crowded auditorium of Casa América was the stage where last Friday the Embassy of Costa Rica organized a concert of the Costa Rican singer and composer Pahola Crowley, entitled Melodies entre Angustias y Paisajes, and which featured the intervention of narrator Cristina Gómez.
The recital was a musical approach to the work of author Carlos Salazar Herrera and his costumbristas stories, “reinterpreting them through the universal language, music,” according to the words of the Costa Rican ambassador, Adriana Bolaños.
“Tales of anguish and landscapes, the ambassador pointed out, was first published in the 1940s and consists of thirty short stories that tell the difficulties and adventures of peasant life in Costa Rica at that time.”
“For the Embassy of Costa Rica it is a great satisfaction to support events like the one that today calls us, concluded the ambassador Bolaños, where the protagonists are the music and the Costa Rican talent, especially in this year, 2025, Commemorating 175 years of diplomatic relations between Costa Rica and Spain”.
