A Tertulia is a social gathering with literary or artistic overtones,especially in Iberia or Latin America. The word is originally Spanish, and has only moderate currency in English, in describing Latin cultural contexts. It is rather similar to a salon, but a typical tertulia in recent centuries has been a regularly scheduled event in a public place such as a bar, although some tertulias are held in more private spaces, such as someone's living room. Participants may share their recent creations (poetry, short stories, other writings, even artwork or songs). Usually (but not always) the participants in a regularly scheduled tertulia are, in some respects, likeminded, whether by having similar politics, similar literary tastes, etc.

I was born on a very artistic family. My mother painted and my father was a photographer. They where very well know in my country.

Every Friday my house was opening for a TERTULIA, my mom and Dand will invite different artists to visit them. I will love to sit on the top of the staircase and look at what they where wearing, the way they moved and talk, and enjoy listening to this noise when all of them where talking and laughing.My brother will sit by my side and enjoy the TERTULIA too. Meanwhile he will played with a little stick and a box and made different sounds. Sometimes it was really funny. Someone will laugh and he will hit his paper drum. He made different noises and rythms. Then somebody laugh and he will hit it again, we use to laugh very much in this meetings. Today my brother is a Drummer.
