Born in 1938 in Guamanga, Carmen de Bolívar, in the Caribbean of Colombia, a descendant of traditional singers such as her aunts María del Carmen Teherán and María de Los Reyes Teherán, Ceferina Banquez is a versatile singer-songwriter of the Bullerengue sentao, son de negro, and fandango. These songs express the African traditions of the region.
After being displaced for 18 years from her native land, and now nearly 80 years old, Ceferina has finally been able to return home in Guamanga. Her happiness is reflected in her new music and her powerful live performances.
