By popular demand, after the 2005, 2006 and 2007 sold-out events, the USA's Colombian Folkloric Ballet® is presenting MI COLOMBIA, a powerful and vivid expression of the dance and music of the majestic country of Colombia featuring the New York City’s Cumbiamba eNeYe, the international renowned Colombian artists Jairo Lastre and Nilko Andreas, and the USA’s Colombian Folkloric Ballet®. This show, including live music, projects the unified theme of cultural diversity prevailing in Colombia and enhances the understanding and appreciation of Colombian folkloric ballet art. Colombia’s history, diversely themed cultural regions, colorful native costumes, authentic music, and rhythmic dances are theatrically woven together into one spectacular extravaganza: MI COLOMBIA.
MI COLOMBIA takes the spectator through a compelling journey of Colombia’s folkloric regions to experience their contagious music and dance, brilliant festivals, and lively carnivals that are an essential part of the vibrant geographical regions of Colombia.
"I have never ceased being a Colombian. My country and my ‘Paisa’ origin have been my strength and spirit, the essence of my artistic creation.”
-Fernando Botero
