Talk
The Song and Its Creator
The protection of a musical work is essential for any composer, and in this talk, we had the honor of hosting José Antonio Beltrán. In his segment "The Song and Its Creator," he spoke about the importance of copyright and the registration of musical works—a crucial topic for those looking to safeguard their creativity and receive the recognition they deserve.
This conversation was part of "Building Rhythms" with Adrián Zamarripa, held on January 31, where we explored the composition process and the journey of bringing a song to life.
Master Class
The Mariachi: A Living Tradition

Humberto Plancarte, leader of Tierra Cali, and Ivann Flores, who shared their talent and vision of this iconic musical genre.
Professor Valentín Martínez from Mariachi Nuevo Amanecer Academy, who invited us to reflect on the importance of education as a fundamental pillar in strengthening our community and preserving our roots.

The Transformative Power of Performing Arts
Performing arts offer a unique opportunity for personal and social growth. They enable emotional expression, enhance social skills, foster empathy, and encourage creativity. By connecting traditions with contemporary challenges, they become a tool for cultural preservation and social change, inspiring individuals and communities alike.
Master class
Creation with Purpose
The Colombian band Living shared their masterclass, "Creación con propósito," aimed at inspiring the growth of a better community.
Their art serves as a bridge for the migrant community in the U.S. from Colombia, fostering inspiration for a stronger sense of unity. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with them on future projects with TriFoPA.
