Carolina Garzón Blanco

Singing, storytelling and bullerengue

Corporación Ruleli
The Cartagena-raised Carolina Garzón Blanco is a graphic designer, author and illustrator of a number of books, including La herencia de nuestros mayores, a collection of stories about the Colombian Pacific; and Agüela, se fue la nuna, a children’s book written by the poet Mary Grueso. The participant will do a musical reading of her book Bonito que canta, where Ruleli Corporation will harmonise each scene with live bullerengue. This book narrates, through the musicality and natural poetry of bullerengue, the story of Petrona Martínez and the women singers of the Colombian Caribbean—their joys, sorrows, loves, and struggles preserved over time by their songs and traditions.
