V International Festival of Arts "Favorites for the Elect"
“Latin Quarter or Besame Mucho”

Duration - 75 minutes.

All the best that is in Latin American dances is for you. Two champion couples will show their beyond skill - inspired and inspirational. Their motivation is where the highest technical level becomes pure art. Where music merges with movement, and where movement is music. Where a simple pulsation of the heart rhythm is enough for mutual aspiration. Where attraction is repulsive, and the impossible is possible. Where emotions are over the edge and every dance step is verified. Where gliding on the floor - soaring in the clouds. Where reality and wonder meet, wondering at each other.

A miracle that is unlikely to ever happen again. Fifteen-year-old Mexican girl Consuelo Velazquez wrote the song “Besame Mucho (Kiss Me Stronger)”, wrote as she later admitted herself, never kissing anyone else. And… she was embarrassed to admit that she was the author of this popular song. Hit songs, as they would now call it. But no. This is not a hit. This is something more. Because the passionate words and melody of this song firmly took their place in world music history. And it’s hard to imagine the twentieth century without “Besame torment.” And the twenty-first, of course, too. Because there is no such closed soul to which it would not be the key. There is no sorrow to which she would not return hope. This song became a classic at its first performance. And she confidently took her place next to time-tested classical works. A fifteen-year-old girl forever entered the pantheon of the best composers of world music. Near Bernstein and Schubert, Mozart and Piazzolla. Listen to this. And see for yourself.
