Cimarrón Educational Performance :: The Dennos Museum Center

Cimarrón Educational Performance

Monday, March 18, 2013, 9:30 aM

The cimarrón is the bull that knows no rope, corral, nor iron, the steer that has not been lassoed nor branded and ranges free on the savannas and surrounding forests. – Carlos Rojas Hernández, band leader.

Cimarrón’s music combines regional Columbian roots and ancestral concepts with contemporary influence. With stories of the plains, powerful rhythms and lyrics, and the amazing power of dance joropo, Cimmarrón is sure to wow you and your students with their award-winning world music.
