The Ensemble Vocal Raíces, directed by maestro César González, consists of students and graduates from Escuela de Música Desepaz in Cali. The group advanced through regional auditions and will present its proposal on June 26 at 8:00 p.m. in the Coliseo Gerardo Arellano.
It will be accompanied by Guillermo Quiceno on piano and Duberney Betancourt on tiple. Its repertoire draws from Andean Colombian musical traditions.
