Hay Festival Jericó 2025
Event C1
Grupo Suramérica concert
In the face of war, poetry: 50 years on the stage.
Parque principal - tarima
Read moreWhat started as a project among a group of friends at the University of Antioquia has become a band that in 2025 celebrated 50 years, and has had three generations of musicians among its members. For five decades, Grupo Suramérica has been taking music to Antioquia, Colombia and Latin America. Taking as inspiration nueva trova cubana, nuevo cancionero argentino and nuevo canto uruguayo, from the beginning they have promoted spaces for social exchange with a clear goal: in the face of rifles, they have used guitars; in the face of war, poetry. They have been turning memories into songs for 50 years, and here in Jerico we celebrate life and music through their shared path.

Event 9
Simón Vargas in conversation with Jorge Caraballo
From Morat to ‘A la orilla de la luz’
Teatro Santamaría
Read moreSimón Vargas is known as the singer and bassist of the group Morat. But the artistic creativity of this Colombian musician knows no boundaries, and he has recently published a book of stories that he himself illustrated: A la orilla de la luz, in which Bogota becomes a protagonist in this collection of tales with intertwined characters and settings. This book, with more than a touch of magic realism, is both real and imaginary, with taxi drivers of perverse tastes, mysterious beings who live in the mist, and children who could be parents. He will talk to Jorge Caraballo.
