The ensemble presents a concert focused on joropo llanero and genres such as pasaje and golpes, with the aim of highlighting the musical and cultural practices of the Eastern Plains as a living tradition passed down from generation to generation.
This concert promises to be a representative showcase of what takes place in the torneos and festivals of llanero folklore —spaces that have served as platforms to celebrate, preserve and promote the ancestral practices of Colombia’s diverse soundscape.
The repertoire includes compositions from their most recent album, Ultrainstinto, a project that fuses contemporary pieces with traditional forms. On stage, they use arpa llanera, cuatro, maracas, bandola, clarinet and electric bass, creating a dialogue between different modes of interpretation.
Based in Bogotá, the band focuses on instrumental music, while also incorporating vocals from four of its members and highlighting the clarinet as a central sonic element that engages in dialogue with the ensemble’s rhythms.
