Palo Santo


A series of educational workshops in collaboration with the Fundación Balia, focused on children of Latin American origins, who are taught Colombian, Cuban and Costa Rican folk songs to provide a sense of belonging and self-esteem. These workshops took place from March to May 2019 and culminated in a concert performed in June 2019 at the Sony Auditorium of the Reina Sofía School of Music to showcase the children's work.

Students: Yeraldín León (voice), Alexis Morales (trumpet), Susana Rivero (double bass)

Goals:

  • To highlight the value of Latin American folk culture
  • To improve the children's self-esteem by dignifying their identity traits.
  • To empower through the use of new tools and public exposure.
