On Thursday, March 20th at 7:00 PM the Half Moon Bay Library will host the renowned children’s musical group Colibri.  Colibri, Spanish for hummingbird, is a duo that presents lively, interactive journeys through Latin America.

Using an exciting array of traditional folk instruments, Lichi Fuentes and Alisa Peres create a bridge linking children in the U.S. with those of 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 tapping a new rhythmn, remembering some words in Spanish, or wondering what life might be like in faraway places.
