Then come the recital “Recordando al maestro Fosforito”, by Julián Estrada with Manuel Silveria on guitar, the launch of the book “Fosforito. Desde el principio del tiempo” and a lecture by Manuel Bohórquez. It closes with a gala by students of the Conservatorio Profesional de Danza Luis del Río and the Conservatorio Superior de Música Rafael Orozco.
