To celebrate the "silver wedding" with the Lanzarote carnival, the members of the Los Desahuciados de Valterra murga inaugurated the exhibition "25 years of giving murga", on Sunday afternoon at the Sociedad Democracia de Arrecife.

In this exhibition, the murga has accommodated all the material that they have been preserving as a valuable legacy during these 25 years. The group has exhibited the fantasies of almost all its dresses, in addition to an extensive photographic archive, as well as a projection of videos, and the different trophies corresponding to the awards obtained in the contests, and even the booklets in which the lyrics of the songs are collected, among many other things.

The event began with the welcoming words of the president of the murga, Miguel Martín, in charge of introducing each of the speakers. The mayor of Arrecife, Astrid Pérez, the Councilor for Culture, Abigail González, the Councilor for Festivities, Encarna Páez, the president of the Sociedad Democracia, Juan Carlos Alonso, and the founder of the murga, Manuel Hernández, participated with a short speech. The president, Miguel Martín, closed the section of statements, who thanked the presence of the authorities, friends from other murgas, the general public and his colleagues, also making a review of his experiences since his arrival at the murga.

Manuel Hernández Noda, founder of Los Desahuciados, gave a tour recounting in great detail how the murga had been formed back in 1997. Noda explained that it all started talking with some friends and neighbors in the bar El Marino, starting with 18 members who over the years have reached about 60. An exciting project that became a reality based on a lot of work and sacrifice, but that has been worth it because they currently form "a great family", as was once again reflected during the opening ceremony where the bonds of friendship and camaraderie were present at all times.

The Councilor for Festivities, Encarna Páez, in her speech asked them to sing the famous "Matraca", a very lively piece that they carry in their repertoire and they all performed it together and some more choruses with great animation, and it shows in the environment, people want to party.
