An Unforgettable Night of Art and Emotion in Puerto Vallarta


On December 14, the "Hueco" Collective was filled with magic and melodies during the intimate concert "Guitarra Mestiza," an event that left a lasting impression on the hearts of attendees. Located at Calle Silvestre Revueltas 146 in the Benito Juárez neighborhood of Puerto Vallarta, this venue served as the perfect stage for a night brimming with music and emotion.

The concert was led by renowned guitarist Atanacio Enríquez, whose talent and passion created an unforgettable atmosphere. Under the direction of the equally acclaimed musician Jacob Ordoñez Rodríguez, "Guitarra Mestiza" became a space for artistic collaboration and cultural expression.

The evening also featured performances by other talented guitarists, including students of Jacob Ordoñez, who demonstrated their dedication and love for music. Jacob's presence, not only as a director but also as a collaborator with Atanacio Enríquez in some pieces, added a special touch to the event.

One of the most emotional moments of the night occurred when Jacob Ordoñez presented a guitar as a gift to one of his students. The young woman, visibly moved, expressed her heartfelt gratitude through tears, highlighting the profound impact of her teacher's support and professionalism on her musical journey. This act of generosity and recognition underscored the transformative power of art.

The audience, composed mostly of foreigners, responded with enthusiastic applause and joy to the performances that filled the venue with captivating melodies. Every note resonated as a bridge between cultures, demonstrating the universal power of music.

The "Hueco" Collective once again solidified its role as a key space for promoting art and culture in Puerto Vallarta. Events like "Guitarra Mestiza" not only nurture local talent but also enrich the cultural life of the region and attract a diverse audience.

While classical music is often associated with foreign audiences, it also has a significant impact on native Vallartans. This genre offers a medium to explore and connect with profound emotions, fostering a sense of cultural identity and belonging. It is vital that events of this nature also aim to inspire and educate local communities, helping to value and preserve artistic expressions in all their forms.

The development of new talent in the musical realm is essential to ensuring the continuity and evolution of art. Initiatives like those of Jacob Ordoñez, which promote the cultivation of artistic skills from an early age, are crucial for building a generation of musicians capable of bringing Puerto Vallarta’s name to international stages. Supporting these talents not only enriches the local cultural landscape but also contributes to the growth of a more creative and resilient community.

This concert was not merely a showcase of virtuosity but also a reminder of music’s power to connect, inspire, and move people. "Guitarra Mestiza" is etched in the memories of those fortunate enough to attend, leaving the door open for future editions and more dreamlike musical evenings in Puerto Vallarta.
