Diálogo critico Don Sempronio y Don cucufato

Abstract

The image contains news about the dialogue between Don Sempronio and Don Cucufato, about Cucufato's discomfort related to the theater. Cucufato reveals that his discomfort comes from the performance of Mr. Díaz's company, which competes with the nominated Bogotana directed by Mr. Villalba.

Sempronio shows interest in the cause of Cucufato's annoyance, who mentions having attended a presentation by Villalba's company. Cucufato explains that, despite feeling somewhat unwell, he decided to attend to compare the performances of both companies.

The main criticism of Cucufato centers on a patriotic song performed by Mr. Díaz's company. He complains about the lack of cadence, style and melody in the singing, describing it as out of rhythm and comparing it to angry screams. He expresses his disappointment at not finding the level of quality he expected, especially when comparing it to European artists and other voices that he has heard in various countries in America. Loose leaf, 1835.
