«We must provide and promote music from a very early age to contribute to a better formation of the personality, because music makes us more sociable; smarter; more creative; happier; Healthier; more proactive and better people, “said the artist, who ended her time as a teacher just a year ago due to retirement. In his speech he highlighted anecdotes from his childhood and youth, all related to the neighborhood. «I have lived in San Juan many of the most important experiences of my life, which have been related to my childhood; with my youth; with my work and with its streets; plazas; parks and roundabouts, which make visitors fall in love, “he said at the beginning, reiterating in the same way his enthusiasm for opening the festivities.
Zerpa remembered herself attending parties with her parents and siblings when she was just a child, underlining that at that time the anxieties for these dates were so great that when they started the whole family would wear new clothes. Likewise, he related that his first steps in the world of music were in his own neighborhood, during his adolescence. The first trips to El Casino, a social venue in the neighborhood that is still open, led her to develop great friendships and create her own female musical group, known as Las Minervas. “Its creation coincided, in turn, with the musical group of boys Full Stop during the 70s,” explained the preacher, who confessed that both formations enliven the festival of San Juan on many occasions with their concerts.
During the speech he wanted to make present that his first forays into the world of music were driven by his own relatives. «I had the best teachers in my family, the Falcón orchestra; my cousin Juan José Falcón Sanabria and his sister, Ana María Falcón Sanabria, “he added, while remembering his brother, Heriberto Zerpa, a doctor at the San Juan health center and” one of the best singer-songwriters. Finally, he took the opportunity to talk about his time in music school, of which he has very good memories, and to promote the importance of music for society, before wishing everyone happy holidays.
