This year the 6th Colombian Serenade is going to be dressed in white and "rabo 'e gallo" (a red bandana).
We will present music and dance from both Colombian coasts. The invited group is Efraín Orjuela and his family's "La Familia Vallenata" (The Vallenata Family) who are coming from Fresno, California to "get the party started".
The UEPAGE folkloric groups, Los Primos, Colombia Viva, and Semillitas with the special participation of Ricardo Verdugo, will bring us cumbias, porros, bullerengue, bambazú, currulao, etc.
The design of the poster this year was a collaboration of Fernando and Mario Duarte, Colombian artists who are residents in California. Mario Duarte will exhibit his works at a famous art gallery in Riverside, CA soon. You can look at Fernando Duarte's creative work on the following page: http://www.newsreview.com/issues/sacto/2005-07-07/arts.asp
