Cecilia’s view of the Caracas Valley

I met Cecilia Todd at her modest home in Caracas, where the greatest luxury is not material but the view: the entire valley fits into a single glance if you step out onto the terrace. There, among flowers, orchids, and marjoram plants, rises a citrusy, delicious scent that I now recognize as belonging to this city. Cecilia’s house is a small showcase of her life: the records, the instruments, the books. It reveals an artist who never needed to call attention to herself in order to become indispensable. (more…)

The dialogue addressed issues related to the current situation in Cuba, the impact of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government, and recent acts of international solidarity.
