Mangroves and Marimba
An evening of Afro-Colombian Music with Eryen Korath and Neblinas del Pacifico
Eryen Korath Ortiz Garcés (Buenaventura, Colombia) and Neblinas del Pacífico (La Mission, San Francisco) present a sound fabric of marimba de chonta music from the Afro-Colombian Pacific: music of rivers and mangroves, of polyrhythms and harmonies, of spirituality and everyday life, of ancestors and tradition, of celebration and resistance. Together, they present a musical journey of rivers and mangroves, spirituality and everyday life, rooted in celebration and resistance. Featuring instruments like marimba de chonta, bombos, cununos, and guasás, their performance is a vibrant celebration of Colombia’s Pacific Coast heritage.

Eryen Korath, Federico Ardila, Pipe Arrechea, May-Li Khoe, Juliana Mejía, Erika Padilla-Morales, Stephanie Reist, Andrés Reyes
