Colibri (the Spanish word for hummingbird) is a duo that presents lively and interactive musical journeys through Latin America. Using an exciting array of traditional folk instruments including guitar, charango, cuatro, bombo, quitiplas, zamponas and chekere, Putamayo recording artists Lichi Fuentes and Alisa Peres create a bridge linking children in the United States. with those in the Spanish speaking world. Their extensive repertoire includes selections from many different countries, from a Bolivian festival song about a mother dancing with her baby, to a Chilean song about worms, as well as popular Mexican singalongs. Children leave Colibri concerts singing a new song and tapping a new beat, remembering some words in Spanish, and appreciating the rhythm of life in faraway places.
