Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents Chontadelia in concert on Thursday, March 24, 2022.

A seven-piece band from Colombia rooted in the iconic marimba de chonta and the Pacific coast’s Afro-Colombian culture, identity, and history, Chontadelia’s outspoken, marimba-driven funk gives voice to its communities’ histories, stories, struggles, and concerns: “The capacity to enjoy, to have a good time, is not separate from what is happening to you, your country, your community. Stand up, talk about the issues, dance.”

What’s in a name? Chontadelia comes from the fusion of two words; chonta—the wood that the marimba is made of, and delia—psychedelic sounds.

Adults tickets are $25.00. Tickets for students with ID and youth ages 18 & under are $10.00.
