High on the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the sacred mountain of Colombia, lives the Kogi tribe, one of the four main tribes of this region. They have developed a traditional music style using the plants from all around, just as many cultures do. Join us to experience and learn about their music, their instruments, their plants and their balanced relationship with the natural world. Plus there will also be an opportunity to make your own instruments. Led by Colombian Ethno-musician Anthar Kharana in association with Dr James Richardson, Head of Tropical Biogeography and Evolution, RBGE.
