New Year and dancing in the highway.

January 2, 2003


Venezuelans are accustomed to celebrating the New Year’s at home, with family, not in public places like in many parts of the world. The Mayors of Caracas have tried in the last three years to change that without success. Well, all the marching and demonstrating changed that when the Democratic Coordinator invited people to go to the Altamira Distributor to await the New Year. It was packed as people danced on the highway to the live music of the country’s most popular dancing orchestra Billo’s Caracas Boys with merengues, Paso Dobles, cumbias and guarachas and beautiful fireworks.
