Granada’s international poetry festival kicked off yesterday, 14th February 2010, with a belting set from Katia Cardenal. Performing at the Plaza Independencia, Katia sang a mixture of rousing folk songs and revolutionary ballads, including a superb homage to the Miskito people of the Atlantic coast (2nd song featured, actually in the Miskito language).

NOTE: Video download speeds in Nicaragua and other developing countries may be slow. The simplest way to view the film without jerky interruptions is to hit play and pause immediately thereafter. Wait for a minute or two (until the download bar indicates a reasonable chunk of the video has been cached) then resume playback. My apologies for this technical inconvenience.
