Balcony Serenades: A Celebration of Pasillo, Song and Poetry
As part of a series of events organized in October 2025 by the Instituto Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural (INPC) to mark the International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, the ‘Balcony Serenades: A Celebration of Pasillo, Song and Poetry’ in Guayaquil seeks to bring the traditional musical genre of Pasillo closer to the local community through live performances and the promotion of local artists. This gathering offers neighbors the opportunity to experience the emotional depth and poetic richness of Pasillo —a genre deeply rooted in Ecuadorian cultural identity— while creating a space for artistic exchange, community connection, and the celebration of local talent.
