Cita en el periódico Gulf Times
Having pursued Mexican ballet with dancers back in Singapore, she decided to do the same when she arrived in Doha six years ago. “I met a Colombian woman who told me: Don’t do it for Mexico but for all of Latin America,” Cobos said.
Thus was born Ballet Folklorico Latinoamericano, which has brought together a dozen women passionate about Latina dance forms. Cobos said, “We perform mostly at charities, and some times, at Arab weddings, too.”
One of the dancers, Ivonne Pulido, said the opportunity to showcase their dances, dresses and cuisine means a lot to them. “This is just a glimpse of our culture because people don’t know, for instance, the 1,000 kinds of dresses that have emerged from various parts of Mexico.”
Martin Torres, Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of Mexico in Qatar, who along with his wife Celina Hoyos de Torres, played his part to ensure that the event was a success, said, ‘It’s a group of ladies who are not only used to such events but they also know how to appreciate it.’
“We are ready to grasp every opportunity to showcase what Mexico is all about because we want the local and expat community to understand and appreciate Mexico, a little bit more and a little better, every time,” Torres said, pointing out that there are around 1,000 Mexicans in Qatar.
“The ladies have used their imagination well, and done a wonderful job in bringing together everything that they could. It’s a very authentic sample of what we are all about; a little about our music, our traditions, dances, and cuisine. This is a really tangible manifestation of what Mexico is all about today and what our history has been before,” he added.
