Homage to the porro, one of the major musical styles of the Colombian Caribbean. This event will combine a concert and a conversation. We will hear, live, the sincejelana group Acorbanda de Colombia, led by the accordionist and composer Rodrigo Rodríguez; this band is made up of 12 musicians and a guest guitarist. Maestro Rafael Pérez Alviz, a researcher into Caribbean music, and Daniel Samper Pizano will take part in a conversation about the history and cultural wealth of porro.
