A baquiano, in the vast plains of Venezuela and Colombia, is a local guide. He knows his local area. He guides the migrating herds the way to pasture, camping, river crossings, etc.
This Baquiano Program offers logistic and material support to performers and to sponsors of traditional Latin American harp music in North America.
This can include public concerts, school presentations, workshops, restaurant entertainment, etc., by professional or skilled semi-professional harpists.
Events should be mostly admission-free, matched by local sponsors, and largely funded by tips and sale of recordings.
