La Voz Latina de Belice

 On March 30th, 2011, the University of Belize held its fifth annual latin American Symposium, La Voz Latina de Belice.  Among the delegates and invited guests were Erwin "Guti" Contreras and José V. Guerra Awe of la Poderosa III.  
 Erwin performed  two original pieces.  His first piece was love themed "Mariposa," and the second was the socially charged piece "Las Vozes del Silencio." 
José paid hommage to his late great-uncle Jaime Malaquías Gálvez by performing one of his piece "Para Enamorar en el Año 2000," posthumous. He also performed one of his original pieces, a Neruda-esque piece entitled "Oda a la Lluvia."  Both young men were received very warmly and received high accolades from their fellow literary colleagues and the delegates present.  They were also recognized for their participation and their literary achievements by the University of Belize.
