The project of the Municipal Band of Zarcero began in March 2008 thanks to an initiative put forth by director Elesban Rodriguez who owned a music school and wanted to enlarge his project, teaching even more young children and youths the art of music. At the moment the band has 130 members including a Color Guard and a Folklore group. The band participated eight times in the most important parade in Costa Rica, the “Festival della Luce”, and has performed both nationally and internationally, for example in the most important parade for Central Americans in Los Angeles in 2017; they also participated in an important band contest, Bocas del Toro in November 2017. They will perform in Italy in 2018: 45 band members are arriving in Giulianova, ready to do their best to win a prize! The band repertory includes folk and popular music, and tributes to famous bands such as Queen, Soda Stereo and Malpais.
