Program Notes

This work tells the history and myths of the indigenous Zenúes, of the Caribbean linguistic family of northern South America. The Zenúes excelled in the construction of a complex system of irrigation canals for their crops that functioned for nearly two thousand years, until the arrival of the Spaniards in 1500.

The Suite is constructed in four movements that relate the processes of encounter of races and cultures that took place throughout the American continent. The work seeks to represent landscapes of the Sinú River region and painful scenes of the Spanish conquest process that subjugated the native culture.
