A composition I wrote for a documentary directed by Santiago Ardila, which narrates a tragic story about some flamencos who could not come back to their habitat in La Guajira (Colombia) because of human violence. When they could finally return a man decided to alter the course of the Pereveres river to water his African Palm crops, draining the Camarones lagoon and causing a terrible social and ecological damage to the region.
“Desolación Rosa” (Juan Andrés Ospina)
A composition I wrote for another documentary directed by Santiago Ardila, about the emotional story of a countryside man in Colombia and his caring relationship to his cow “Fortuna”.
