Luciana Salazar He made a strong statement on his social media after it emerged that the famous ‘swimming pool’ will be taken down in Viña del Mar International Song Festivalpopularly known as Festival de Viña.
Sunday February 19 will begin what is known as the biggest musical event of the summer in Latin America and there are many artists who will take the stage, such as Tini Stoessel, Emilia Mernes, Rels B, Fito Páez, Karol G, Camilo AND Nicki Nicole.
Due to the pandemic, the last edition was in 2020. And for this year, since the organization of the event, they have made the decision to make several changes, such as the end of some of the traditions that have known how to characterize the Festival.
One of them is that the historic orchestra has been eliminated and there will be no gala. The election of Queen of the Viña del Mar Festivalofficially started in 1982 with the coronation of Raffaella Carrara.
Xuxa, Gloria Trevi, Sofia Vergara, Celia Cruz AND Thalia They were some of the stars who over the years have grabbed the crown of the big event.
But it was Natalia Oriro which introduced a big change in the Festival when, after being elected queen in 2001, she jumped into the pool in the crown and dress.
The “pool” of the actress, who was 24 at the time, became very famous and it became a tradition that all those elected as queens would follow.
luli salazar, crowned in 2005, made one of the most remembered presentations. The fact is that the Argentine media wore an outfit that was very different from the long, gala dress that was in use up to that point.
Luli chose a short skirt and bikini top. And in the pool she did something topless that generated a lot of controversy.
The former lookouts set a precedent and although until then everyone had jumped into a bathing suit, later some started doing it with a shell and even with Body paintingg.
The truth is that said the tradition, which had already changed in 2018 when they started choosing queen and king, has come to an end. And Salazar was very upset by this decision and aimed against the organizers of the event.
“How absurd that the pool of the queen of the Viña del Mar Festival is being eliminated”the model said on Twitter.
And he continued: “Cardboard demagoguery and progressivism, when extremes break with traditions that do not touch or offend anyone”.
