Santa Cruz regional cultural and professional celebrations

Overview

The Santa Cruz region of Bolivia has engaged in various cultural and professional celebrations marking its anniversary.

Initial focus was placed on the region’s musical identity, specifically the history of the taquirari song ‘Viva Santa Cruz’. Composed by Gilberto Rojas Enríquez, the song transitioned from a piece played on Radio Electra during 1950s political tensions to a symbol of regional identity. Recent musical tributes, such as ‘Pa voj Santa Cruz’ by Hermes Montaño, have continued to celebrate the traditions and landscapes of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Montero.

Further commemorations of the department’s 216th anniversary included the Federación de Profesionales de Santa Cruz presenting awards for intellectual, professional, and business excellence. Additionally, the Cooperativa Rural de Electrificación received the ‘Palmera Dorada’ award at Expocruz 2026 for its musical production ‘Amanecer’, a performance depicting the role of electrical services in the region’s growth.
