ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (VIII) - The flower, a servant
The gold, the flower, the wood. Sumptuousness, ephemeral art, heritage. Our processions are inconceivable without the thrones debuting that brilliant and colorful costume provided by the florists and that singles out each outing with inexhaustible creativity. Juan Fernández, a member of the "El Anda" and Art Commission, focuses on the relationship, which was not always well suited, between the floral arrangement, carved ornamentation and its conservation. It is the difficult art, in order to find the right measure.

ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (III) - What's wrong with “My Bitterness”?
Identity or import, tradition versus renewal. An eternal debate on Holy Week, and very particularly on its "soundtrack". A young and talented musician, as well as a tireless disseminator of the brotherhood, reflects on the very essence of processional marches and on the evolution of sheet music that can be found on music band stands.
