Multicultural Activity at Port St. Lucie Community Center

By Herman Santa

The “Spanish American Club, Inc.” of Martin and St. Lucie counties held its second Multicultural Show on Saturday, July 22, at the Port St. Lucie Community Center. The club is already recognized for its support of Hispanics and for its community services, education, and arts. The club is among the nonprofit civic organizations in the “Treasure Coast” counties that have taken the initiative to preserve the folklore, art, customs, language, and cultures of our Spanish-speaking countries.

This was the first time we had the participation of four countries who showcased their folklore. This multicultural event was scheduled to celebrate the anniversary and the independences of the United States, Colombia, and Peru. The Colombians were represented by a folkloric group from the “Artistas Colombianos” organization in West Palm Beach. They danced the San Juanero and the Mapale. The Peruvians entertained us with the folkloric group “Estampas Peruanas” from Boynton Beach, who performed a Marinera and a Valiche. The Americans were represented by “Sun Cats Squares” from Port St. Lucie. They danced the famous “How Down” and a “Tip Dance.”

Guatemalans were represented by their group “Maya Quetzal” from West Palm Beach, who delighted us with traditional dances from their land and culminated with the band “Marimba de Corn Maya” from Indiantown. After the multicultural event, Latin music was played with the “Disc Jockey” Manny González and his “Midnight Express” from Port St. Lucie. The Board of Directors of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” and its members thank everyone for their support and participation, as well as the individuals and organizations that helped us celebrate our second multicultural showcase. The proceeds from this event will go to the annual college scholarship fund for a Hispanic student in the area.
