Tribute Concert for Tiburcio Romero - Colombiaby Christine Johnstone |
A tribute concert for Maestro Tiburcio Romero (father of accordionist Lacides Romero) was held in the city of Monteria in northern Colombia on June 1st. Lacides Romero performed at the event along with 11 Choirs. The program included a variety of Universal and Latin American music along with compositions by Tiburcio Romero. This tribute is of great importance in the region because Tiburcio Romero was a forerunner of the choral movement in the region of Cordoba (Colombia). In 1964 he founded the Choir of the University of Córdoba and in 1974 the Choir of the University of Sinú. Since that time he has also founded several private choirs such as the Rondalla del Sinú and the Amadeus Quintet. |
