Festival Orígenes, a free four-night festival of ancestral music from indigenous peoples of Colombia and the wider region, returns to Bogotá from Wednesday 26 August. No ticket, no booking, just first come first served at four venues. The full name is Festival Orígenes, Sonidos y Saberes Ancestrales, meaning ancestral sounds and knowledge.
The music consists of drums, flutes, voices and dance rather than a rock line-up. Organized by Bogotá's arts institute, Idartes, in partnership with Colectivo Memorias Originarias MUKSU, the festival features six countries represented by six acts. Sara Curruchich from Guatemala and Hamac Caziim from Mexico are among the acts. No published source gives a capacity figure for any of the venues.
Arrive early for the indoor shows, as they fill quickly. The academic and cultural week runs from Monday 24 to Friday 28 August, also free.
