Cástula Orozco Durán, a resident of Caucasia, Antioquia Department, Colombia, celebrated her 110th birthday.
Cástula Orozco Durán was born in San José de Uré, Córdoba Department, Colombia, on 26 March 1916. Her father, Octavio Orozco, passed away when she was just seven months old. Throughout her life, she worked in various roles, including washing clothes, cleaning, helping at the church, and selling rice. She never married and did not have any biological children.
She was named Queen of the Tuna Tambora (Spanish: “Reina de la Tuna Tambora”) in 1981 in recognition of her active involvement in traditional dance, where she performed both as a dancer and a verse singer. From a very young age, she developed a deep passion for dance—especially the tuna dance—which she continued to nurture throughout her life. She has been a member of the Tuna Tambora Cañafístula of the Municipality of Caucasia since its founding.
LongeviQuest extends warm congratulations to Cástula Orozco Durán on her 110th birthday.
