The ensemble pays homage to Colombian music through a highly experimental style. Traditional genres such as cumbia and bullerengue from the Atlantic Coast, currulaos from the Pacific Coast as well as joropos of the Colombian Eastern Plains are the point of departure for musical creativity. Lucía’s vocal sophistication is enhanced in genres such as herding songs (cantos de vaquería), funeral laments (alabaos) and harvest chants (cantos de zafra) which give the singer the liberty to explore her voice fully. The ensemble also performs songs written for Lucía by composers Iván Benavides and Sebastián Cruz.

The quartet, comprised of guitar, bass, drums, and voice, generates a unique sound, allowing each member to explore their instruments, and making each presentation an incomparable and entertaining experience. The program includes traditional Colombian and Latin American songs, and original compositions.
