The International Music Festival “Barrio del Carmen” already celebrates his eighth anniversary, to dress the Holidays of the Quarter of a special coloring and a music.

Like murciana and like councilman of the Town hall of Murcia, it fills with pride me to show this year the Godmother's charge of the Music Festival, for designation of the very Illustrious, Glorious and Restless University Tuna of the District of Murcia 1912, in the frame of a few holidays that every year they grow in confidence in quality and local participation.

That's why I want to invite the neighbors of the Quarter and whom they want to accompany to us to that they take part one more year in this big Contest, which already is part of the festive spirit of the city.

The tunos ones give themselves appointment in the Quarter to sing to Murcia, to extoll the holiday, filling the streets and squares with his sones, layers, tapes and guitars, providing us with a special happiness. The Quarter is, one more year, the stage in which the layers, tapes and tambourines are thrown and there is exhibited the feeling of tunas formed by men and women who come from distant universities, sing to us and make us enjoy his dances.

From this edition, in which the honorable task has been entrusted me to represent to the Music Festival, this councilwoman will keep on putting on his part to help to do of this holiday the big contest that has already managed to be, and to promote it inside and out of our city.

With this message not only I want to cheer up the murcianos whom they inform in this event, but also be grateful to the participants for his effort and dedication. There is no doubt that the edition of 2004 will be very special.
