A series of cultural events will take place in Dolores, Uruguay, on November 13 and 14 to honor the legacy of Francisco José López Salgueiro. The musician and composer, who lived in Dolores from the late 19th century until the 1950s, will be celebrated through film, piano concerts, orchestral performances, and testimonies. The program includes the legend of “La casa de la mesa servida” and features contributions from researcher Silvia Glocer and director Luciana Murujosa.
