• Comment: After reading this, I'm not sure what this is. An art event? A concert? Is it considered a landmark event in the culture of Columbia? 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 22:18, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Sinfonia Latina is a music event and concert which took place in a theatre under construction with public attendance beyond capacity and expectation. .The program's first performance occurred on May 7, 1976 in Barranquilla, Colombia,  cultural Caribbean hub city,  in contempt of contemporary social, artistic expression and acceptance challenging the 'status quo', common practices of its time.

A remonstration by the young 'avant guarde' contrarian culture towards the upper social classes and formalism, pointedly,  fusing rock, jazz, Spanish and Caribbean rhythms into classical symphonic architecture, the event and music centered around a poem, in Spanish, 'Al Mar De la Montaña', inspired by Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus in objective direct protest

At least two of the titled movements bear reference to freedom seekers:(III) the expatriate heros from Spanish civil war and (IV) Mexican Emiliano Zapata[The event created impetus towards social, artistic openness, and expression, including awakening the city's politicians into finishing construction of the municipal theater, now the teatro 'Amira De la Rosa and the acceptance of pop music, culture and thought into mainstream social strata .

The music was written between 1975-76 for caribbean Orchestra, composed, directed and conducted by Roberto McCausland-Dieppa . ‘Al Mar de la Montaña’ the poem, also written by Mr. Dieppa, appears to be dated some time before the music was written .

The event was produced by Mauricio Zapata.[ It was the first time an eclectic audience from all social strata, liberals, conservatives, social activists, and progressives came together for the enjoyment of a musical event in the area.
