DESCRIPTION
“La Guitarra” International Festival is a dynamic and inclusive music festival celebrating the guitar's versatility. Designed for students of all ages, the festival offers a unique educational experience that bridges genres—from classical guitar technique and masterpieces repertoire to the rhythms of popular music, the energy of rock, the improvisational freedom of jazz, and the vibrant tradition of Son Jarocho, a folkloric style from Veracruz, Mexico.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn from world-renowned artists, engage in hands-on workshops, and develop technical and creative skills across a diverse range of styles. “La Guitarra” aims to inspire the next generation of guitarists by fostering musical excellence, artistic exploration, and cultural exchange in an international community.
In addition to guitar group lessons, students will have one hour of chorus to ensure voice and ear training. The inclusion of Son Jarocho dance and ensemble workshops invites all students to experience collective music-making and improvisation rooted in centuries of tradition—culminating in a joyful, community-driven performance.
