Aesthetic and ethical influence of the Prodigious Decade project on the cultural education of Las Tunas society

Abstract

The article explains how the Peña Prodigiosa, created to listen to music from 60's and 70's decades and enjoy it among friends, in the course of time built on its objective to carry out a project that goes beyond the merely artistic show, with intentional way, to make an incursion into academic contents, education and science, through methods of educative experiences, the epistemological reflection and the critical dialogue. It is valued how this activity is prepared through serching, visualization and rehearsal of the sections that we share at Huellas Cultural Center, done from an instructive and formative perspective. We mention personalities, some of them nationally and internationally famous that have honored the Peña with performances; we also refer to activities requested by organizations to celebrate anniversaries, or to acknowledge visitors or celebrate important events such as the educators'. We praise the ethic – aesthetic results, the educative and formative dimensions and the cultural indicators that integrate the Peña Prodigiosa or other actions that derive from it. We value the criteria that blocked the artistic creation and cersored some life styles from the 60's to the 80's, which also prejudiced the investigations regarding the youth's cultural manifestations. We conclude that, in spite of the scarce investigations about the theme, the conceptual restrictions and limited resourses, the Peña Prodigiosa honors Cuban art and education.
