Please welcome RANCHO APARTE, a group of young Colombian Pacific musicians who are looking, without compromise, for the root of a music born in the joy of newfound freedom and sadness of having missed a day.
Sound of abozaos, polkas, danzas, rebulú, Contradanzas, Jugas, songs and rhythms that evoke the mother Africa are the mainstay of this group. Rancho Aparte plays clarinet, the copper saxhorn, the tambora, the snare and raizal voice without school. But this is not just a group that rescues the soul of our people, we go beyond: exploring the internal music living like ghosts crouching in the folds of sensation. The group has made young people hear it and understand it and the old generations, enjoy and dance.
This event is made possible and in partnership with Electric Cowbell Productions, Poder del Pueblo, and the Mount Pleasant Library Friends.
