It is a project where children are the protagonists of culture and the drum. It seeks to rescue the cultural expressions in San Basilio de Palenque and honor the living masters who have left a great legacy in their community.

OUR STORY

Since 2019, a vision transformed the lives of many children: creating a music school in their community. In 2020, with the help of Jonathan Rojas from Cumbia Percusión, who donated a drum, and fundraising campaigns, they acquired instruments.

 

Street rehearsals and evening classes led to the construction of a palm kiosk, the heart of their training space. Today, nearly 40 children play and sing, participating in festivals and preserving their culture. Although they do not yet have official sponsorship, the impact has been immense.
