Reiterating the comments of last year a little, we credit the great achievements and shortcomings of this version. Parnassus Investments is often quoted on this topic. Firstly, we consolidate the Carnival, we position ourselves in the Salsodromo; This is the most important achievement, in its third version; We improve the route on the motorway although I insist – as last year I stated it – that the Roosevelt is magnificent by the traditional and the possibility of initiating and culminate in multiple parks and scenarios Alameda, Bandstand, Olympic Stadium and Pan-American tennis courts; and we improve the format with the opening of large orchestras followed by the schools of dance. Great achievements in the midst of many more. We capitalize three achievements but if it’s developing a cultural product of universal value, that transcends the provincialism Cali, if it is position ourselves with an international offer, I believe that we must move much more, therefore I shall dwell very critically on some issues that in no way detract you value to the successes.

We are doing very well but much to achieve excellence. Many are the components of the magnificent spectacle, among them: – weeks earlier at the Municipal Theater – release, environment city, promotion and image, infrastructure (enclosures, accesses, tribunes, public services, mobile and stationary sales), mobility (general and local), screenplay, the logistics for the public (information services, accesses, pedestrianisation, incomes, outputs, first aid), the Mise en scene (with the corresponding Logistics in scene), (artistic groups, the choreography, the music) scene, media and management of waste.
