Come join us to a celebration of Afro-Colombian music with Eryen Korath Ortiz Garcés and Neblinas del Pacífico!
The band Neblinas del Pacífico (La Mission, San Francisco) presents a sound fabric of marimba de chonta music from the Afro-Colombian Pacific: music of rivers and mangroves, of polyrhythms and harmonies, of spirituality and everyday life, of ancestors and tradition, of celebration and resistance. Featuring instruments like marimba de chonta, bombos, cununos, and guasás, their performance is a vibrant celebration of Colombia’s Pacific Coast heritage.
