Workshop: Grupo Tucundirá: Music From Colombia
Start Date: 10/5/2012Start Time: 1:30 PM
End Date: 10/5/2012End Time: 3:30 PM
Event Description
The Grupo Tucundirá, directed by Arecio Manjarres García, will perform music from the Llano Region of the Meta province of Colombia, which overlaps Venezuela's Llano musical traditions. These talented musicians perform on a variety of instruments, including the harp specific to the llano region, the cuatro (a small four-string guitar), the pentola (invented by Manjarres García, it is a five-string guitar that is modeled on the four-string bandola), the transversal flute, and percussion (especially maracas). The tempos are fast and the vocals are often improvised and exchanged between two people. While in the United States, Manjarres García and his wife Yudi will also be scouting for child harpists to feature at their yearly international festival for child harpists in the future.
