Following sold out presentations over the last four years, Ottawa-based Colombian artist Claudia Salguero returns to the Fourth Stage to interpret a selection of love songs from Latin America in her new show ORIGENES.

In this 5^th anniversary presentation, Claudia, her band and her invited guests will also celebrate the folk origins of Latin American music, treating the audience to a taste of traditional instruments and compositions.

Latin American music is renowned by its rich mix of poetic content, exuberant harmonies, decadent vocal interpretation and instrumentation, all of which sets the stage for an intimate evening of evocative and romantic melodies interpreted in Spanish by Claudia, her ensemble and her special guests.

A portion of the proceeds from this presentation will be donated to  “Casa Taller Las Moyas” in Colombia.
