Organized by World Poetry Movement
We met at ten in the morning in Santo Domingo´s main park as planned. From there we march thru El Conde, the central street of the colonial zone, at the sound of drums. When we arrived at the House of the Academies there was a group of poets and writers waiting. We started the reading with a ceremony held by four Chamans, three of the african tradition and one of the andean cult. We springled everyone with water.
The poets who read were: Marta Rivera, Ramon Saba, Oscar Hungria, Eduardo Gautreau, Tomas Castro, Geo Ripley, Chiqui Vicioso, Victor Hugo, Cesar Zapata, Glen Parks, Simon Gregoire, Azucena del Valle and Naranjita Verde, they represented the Dominican Diaspora, the haitian community and different generations.
The gathering was attended by two musical groups of singers, one from Sainagua in San Cristobal and the other from Villa Mella, they brought cantadoras de misterios, in the best african santeria tradition. We all dressed in white.
