I grew up in Ginebra, located in the department of Valle del Cauca which is characterized for being a musical town due to two reasons. Since 1975 one of the most important festivals of traditional music of the Colombian Andean region called Mono Nuñez Festival and by other hand, Canto por la Vida Foundation, it´s a musical school that has been training children and young people through music for more than 20 years.
Today I am fruit of this great musical project and like me, many generations have been permeated thanks to this tradition. Today I want to show through a photographic report made to Juan Camilo Saavedra the transformation process that each student lives from his home to the stage where I invite from the intimacy of the musician to see his discipline, his will and enjoyment.
Todas las tardes la escuela de música abre sus puertas para recibir al rededor de 200 niños y jóvenes que llegan de las diferentes veredas y corregimientos aledaños a Ginebra.
