MUSIC WITH A LATIN BEAT
Lorena Garay and Trio Surcari would be pleased to bring their program "Music with a Latin beat" to your school, college or educational institution. This colorful musical program will provide your students with the opportunity to actively participate with the musicians during the presentation.
Lorena, Eugenio and Tany have been very active within the educational field for a long time in the United States, South America and Europe. They have been directing a series of workshops and seminars for groups ranking from elementary school through college level.
Their workshops and school presentations are fun, engaging ways to experience the irresistible beat of Latin music and learn about the Spanish Caribbean, the Andes, and the countries of Central and South America. Each workshop can be customized to fit your objectives. And the involvement and participation of the students is always guaranteed.
Children and adults love it when they bring their unusual collection of musical instruments and sound effects that imitate the sounds of the rainforest.
