Encuentro veterans unite as they do every year to present COLOMBIAN MUSIC on one stage, in a celebration of Colombia’s traditions and modern innovations…but this year, the energy will reach new heights with the newest voice on the world stage, MAKU Soundsystem (Globalfest 2011). Their driving rhythms are grounded in Afro-Colombian traditions and their gaitas come from Colombia’s indigenous heritage (as well as their name), as they present their music with the freedom of young Colombians hailing from urban Queens.

The annual Encuentro/Encounter of Colombian Musicians in New York music festival, founded by Colombian bandleader, pianist, and composer Pablo Mayor and his wife flutist Anna Povich de Mayor, continues in its effort to provide a platform for Colombian artists in New York to present their art, while bringing these treasures to the attention of the international audience.

The festival coincides with PAMAR’S Latin American Culture Week, using the opportunity to showcase Colombia’s rich musical heritage and developments to the broader international and Latin American community. The six-hour back-to-back showcase will begin with a dinner set featuring such artsts as renowned singer Lucía Pulido, mixing jazz, song, and instrumental music, gradually transforming into an all-out dance party as Pablo Mayor’s Folklore Urbano Orchestra and Gregorio Uribe Big Band take the stage. Special guests to include Limon Dance Company’s Daniel Fetecua and his Pajarillo Pinta’o Dance Company. Once MAKU takes over as the closing act, the audience is guaranteed to be up out of its chairs!!
