Latin America Sings to Nature | Artaza & Fernández Aguirre · MarchVivo

Details

Description

As part of the series Cantos y cuentos de Latinoamérica (Songs and Tales of Latin America), this thematic concert focuses on the Earth. It is the natural element that allows us to live, but also the geographical and sentimental place that shapes us. In Latin America, an immense territory bathed by two oceans, crossed by the Andes and coloured by the vast lungs of the Amazon, coexists a permanent mixture of rhythms and beats: from indigenous roots to European and African influences.
