Hello friends lovers of architecture and design, I hope you are enjoying good health, together with your loved ones, I am happy to share with you again, in recent weeks I have been busy with the sewing course and the development of Christmas dolls, a very beautiful project in which we are working with classmates; during an outing to the castle, the largest fabric store in the city I observed in detail the Alí Primera square, which is located on Avenida Nueva Toledo intersection with the Panamericana, this route is covered by buses and transport lines that go to the center, I have seen many times this square but I had never detailed and observed it closely, I knew it was decorated with musical instruments that identify the Venezuelan singer and composer Alí Primera, but only up to that point
Hola amigos amantes de la arquitectura y el diseño, deseo se encuentren disfrutando de buena salud, en unión de sus seres queridos, me siento feliz de compartir nuevamente con ustedes, en la últimas semanas he estado ocupada con el curso de costura y la elaboración de los muñecos navideños, un proyecto muy hermoso en el cual estamos trabajando con las compañeras del curso; durante una salida al castillo, la tienda de telas más grande de la ciudad observé detalladamente la plaza Alí Primera, que se ubica en la Avenida Nueva Toledo cruce con la Panamericana, esta ruta la cubren los buses y lineas de transporte que van hacía el centro, he visto en muchas ocasiones esta plaza pero nunca la había detallado y observado de cerca, sabía que estaba decorada con los instrumentos musicales que identifican al cantante y compositor Venezolano Alí Primera, pero solo hasta allí.
On this occasion I had the opportunity to observe well the square and noticed that it has a beautiful mural painted on the floor in which you can see two maracas painted with the Venezuelan Tricolor these are part of the instruments of the traditional music of Venezuela as is the Joropo which accompany the harp and cuatro creating a beautiful and joyful melody; The singer Alí Primera stood out for his genre of music that combines folkloric elements with a very particular style, there is also a cuatro and many sunflower flowers, in this mural the colors are very bright and attractive, on the side walls there are also paintings of flowers and on the front wall the face of the singer and some cursive letters that identify the square, very close to this square is located a very busy bus stop that gives access to the most populated sectors of the city.
En esta ocasión tuve la oportunidad de observar bien la plaza y noté que tiene un hermoso mural pintado en el piso en el cual se pueden apreciar dos maracas pintadas con el Tricolor Venezolano estas forman parte de los instrumentos de la música tradicional de Venezuela como lo es el Joropo las cuales acompañan al arpa y al cuatro creando una hermosa y alegre melodía; el cantante Alí Primera destacó por su género de música que combina elementos folklóricos con un estilo muy particular, también se observa un cuatro y muchas flores Girasol, en este mural los colores son muy llamativos y atractivos, en las paredes laterales se observan también pinturas de flores y en la pared frontal el rostro del cantante y unas letras cursivas que identifican la plaza, muy cerca de esta plaza se ubica una parada de buses muy concurrida que da acceso a los sectores más poblados de la ciudad.
The square pays homage to this outstanding artist, in it are the main musical instruments used by the singer in his interpretations; the maracas are located on one of the side walls, they were built with wood (the base) and cement (sphere), the guitar is located on a rectangular base and on the sides has concrete benches where people can rest, very close to the maracas there are also benches for the family and passersby to rest, the best times to visit is in the early morning, the hours of sunset and evening.
Another instrument that adorns the square is the drum (which is part of the traditional Christmas music "Gaita") and is located on the front wall, the guitar is located on a square pedestal.
La plaza rinde homenaje a este destacado artista, en ella se encuentran los principales instrumentos musicales usados por el cantante en sus interpretaciones; las maracas están ubicadas en una de las paredes laterales, se construyeron con madera (la base) y cemento (esfera), la guitarra está ubicada en una base rectangular y a los lados tiene bancos de concreto donde las personas pueden descansar, muy cerca de las maracas también hay bancos para que la familia y transeúntes puedan descansar, las mejores horas para visitar es en la mañana muy temprano, las horas del ocaso y la noche.
Otro instrumento que adorna la plaza es el tambor (que forma parte de la música tradicional Navideña "Gaita") y se ubica en la pared frontal, la guitarra se ubica en un pedestal cuadrado.
The cuatro is the central instrument of the plaza, it rests on a square base of reinforced concrete with benches around it; The music of the singer Ali Primera fused several instruments that belong to the traditional Venezuelan Joropo music and to the traditional Christmas music creating a contagious rhythm, the plaza has a semi-circular shape, the floor is made of concrete with a design of rectangles similar to bricks, most of the instruments are made of cabilla and concrete, They look very realistic and in spite of the years that the square has the instruments are preserved in good condition except for the drum which was detached from the top, but in general the square looks very good and in the Christmas season it is decorated with beautiful lights and trees, which add a beautiful contrast of colors.
Getting to know this plaza and seeing its details and musical instruments up close was very exciting, although I already knew the location of this plaza, I had never stopped to observe how it was totally, I thank a very kind worker for his time and the information he gave me about the plaza and the construction of the instruments, he made a pause in his cleaning day to answer my questions. So much for my visit to the Plaza Alí Primera in Cumaná, which pays homage to a great Venezuelan artist, whose first name is Ely Rafael Primera Rosell.
El cuatro es el instrumento central de la plaza, descansa en una base cuadrada de concreto armado con bancos a su alrededor; la música del cantante Ali Primera fusionó varios instrumentos que pertenecen a la música tradicional Venezolana Joropo y a la música tradicional Navideña creando un ritmo contagioso, la plaza tiene una forma semi circular, el piso es de concreto con diseño de rectángulos similares a los ladrillos, la mayoría de los instrumentos están hechos de cabilla y concreto, se ven muy realistas y a pesar de los años que tiene la plaza los instrumentos se conservan en buen estado a excepción del tambor al cual se le desprendió la parte de arriba, pero en líneas generales la plaza luce muy bien y en las temporadas navideña la decoran con hermosas luces y arbolitos, que agregan un bello contraste de colores.
Conocer esta plaza y ver de cerca sus detalles e instrumentos musicales fue muy emocionante, aunque ya conocía la ubicación de esta plaza, nunca me había detenido a observar cómo era totalmente, agradezco a un trabajador muy amable por su tiempo y la información que me brindó sobre la plaza y la construcción de los instrumentos, hizo una pausa en su jornada de limpieza para responder mis inquietudes. Hasta aquí mi visita a la plaza Alí Primera de Cumaná, que rinde homenaje a un gran artista Venezolano cuyo nombre de pila es Ely Rafael Primera Rosell.
Blessings!
¡Bendiciones!

Hi @maytom, the mural is very beautiful and eye catching the vibrant colors make it look very real, just as you point out, I think it is center of attraction of the square besides the instruments.
