Bogotá is hosting various musical and cultural events at Parque Simón Bolívar as part of the city’s Summer Festival. The festivities include the ‘Vallenato al Parque’ festival, which features a mix of legendary artists like Otto Serge and Beto Zabaleta alongside contemporary performers such as Ana del Castillo. The band Morat is also conducting its ‘Ruta YEM’ experience at the park as part of its world tour.

The Vallenato al Parque event serves to celebrate both traditional and modern sounds of the genre, facilitating a dialogue between different generations of musicians. During the festival, journalist Gustavo Caraballo presented his book, ‘Pedazo de acordeón y otros relatos vallenatos’, noting that vallenato is a “fundamental pillar of Colombian identity” and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
