The Choir and Rondalla of the Home of the Elder People of Las Torres de Cotillas visited a few days ago to the users of the Service of Day Stays to celebrate with them two appointments marked in the calendar on the same date: the international days of music and the elderly, which are commemorated each year on 1 October.
This musical group, directed by Councilor of Culture Pedro Cabrera, interpreted different songs to please users of this day center, such as 'Vino Griego', 'Vals de las mariposas', 'Resistiré', 'Naciste para mí' or 'Do not talk to me'.
"Music is something that people of all ages can enjoy and suppose a very beneficial therapeutic activity," explains Cabrera, who emphasizes that "it improves the mood of the people and helps awaken old memories associated with specific moments of our past".
An activity that also serves to work the memory of the beneficiaries of the service, as it reminds you of songs that you know and are encouraged to sing in groups, thus working cognitive capacities such as memory and language.
"If to this is added that in addition they go out to dance we can say that they also activate and improve the movement and the coordination becoming a therapeutic session", points the councilman.
