Grupo Suramérica concert

What 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.
