Saludos a todos. Les felicito por el magnífico y estupendo evento en celebración de la Abolición de la Esclavitud el pasado 20 de marzo. Me encantó el baile de bomba en el Centro Cultural Ruiz Belvis. De mí les diré que me tumbó una monga fortísima a partir del miércoles. Ya hoy estoy más repuesto y por eso les escribo. Salud y éxitos. Emanuel Dufrasne González, Paracumbé de Puerto Rico.
