“Ecos de una utopía” Suite al caudillo del pueblo

Ecos de una Utopía, a suite composed by Alex Pastrana, pays tribute to the thought and legacy of Jorge EliécerGaitán, who embodied the dream of a just, educated, and peaceful nation. The work evokes the echo of that collective ideal a project of dignity and equity silenced by violence and by the interests that feared its moral power, yet whose resonance remains alive in the conscience of the Colombian people.
