For 34 years, Raíces Culturales Latinoamericanas has promoted, increased awareness, and celebrated all that is rich, dynamic and beautiful in Latin American culture. We do more than simply present music, dance, and visual arts performances and workshops: we explain and give context to these art forms to educate groups of all ages.
We present in schools, universities, museums, businesses, government agencies, and community festivals with artists from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, the Caribbean region, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. We also develop lecture-presentations explaining these colorful and diverse traditions. Contact us at info@raicesculturales.org for more information and how we can develop a successful program for your audience!
