3lizabeth warmed up Różanka with the rhythms of Cuba

On Sunday afternoon, the Rose Garden hosted another concert in its summer series. This time, the stage belonged to Elizabeth Martinez, known as 3lizabeth, a vocalist with Cuban roots who captivated the audience with a lively performance full of rhythm, emotion, and energy.

Crowds flocked to the concert. Some of the audience took their seats on the rows of chairs set up, while others chose cooler corners of the garden, seeking shade under trees and umbrellas. The weather was perfect, with a blazing sun that didn't deter music lovers.

"I've been to all the concerts this summer," says Magda, who arrived with a bottle of water and a fan. "And today's was special. Such hot rhythms and such energy! Wonderful!"

Mr. Edmund Gorczyca, already known to Różanka regulars, arrived – as usual – by bicycle.

"I have 'I love bikes' on my T-shirt, and it's true. I came from Słoneczne. It's my little tradition," he says with a smile. "I love these concerts. And the dances, too. It's a happy life as a retiree!"

3lizabeth captivated audiences not only with Cuban sounds but also with jazz standards. Her voice, charisma, and rapport with the audience transformed the garden into a musical journey straight to the heart of Cuba.

For the less dance-minded guests, the Rose Reading Room awaited – a quiet enclave in the shade where one could relax with a book and a cool drink.

Summer events at Różanka are enjoying unwavering popularity. More concerts and meetings are coming soon – and, as always, everything is free and open to everyone. ©℗
