DUO PIRAGUAS @cuatro_piraguas
What is usually the Cuatro Piraguas will be rowing to Berlin as the DUO PIRAGUAS for this first edition. They are understood as carriers of diverse melodies and rhythms of Latin America and the Caribbean, from the affection and respect towards their origins, looking for a link to our present.
With a diverse repertoire that draws from the traditional music of Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil, the Duo Piraguas (canoes) invites you this time to embark on a sonorous journey through seas, rivers and mountains of Venezuela and Colombia.
In their voyage, the varied songs will be accompanied by traditional instruments like the cuatro and the maracas, giving rise to warm and enchanting sounds that make us sing together, move our bodies and submerge ourselves in their rhythmic and melodious complexity.

"La Cura" is the first Afro-Colombian band in Berlin that plays the music of the origins and oral tradition of the Colombian Caribbean, rhythms such as Bullerengue Sentao, Fandango, Chalupa, Cumbia and Tambora among others that represent the diversity of Colombian music. Sounds that are rooted in the drums and the breath in the female voices with joie de vivre and passion infect the audience and make everyone dance!
