“Suena Ñemby” brought together more than 500 children and youth in a community music festival

The city of Ñemby, Paraguay, hosted the regional festival "Suena Ñemby," marking the first event on the "Sonidos de la Tierra" (Sounds of the Earth) festival route. More than 500 children and young musicians from various community schools across the country gathered for the celebration.

The day began with the arrival of delegations and a city tour, followed by the "Mercadito Sonidos," a fair showcasing products from local entrepreneurs. The main venue, the Polideportivo of the Universidad Politécnica y Artística del Paraguay (UPAP), buzzed with cultural activities and integration events throughout the day.

The highlight of the festival was the evening concert by the Mega Orquesta, composed of young musicians from the "Sonidos de la Tierra" network. The performance drew a large audience, with organizers noting that free concert tickets had sold out before the event, necessitating limited entry for security reasons.

Following its stop in the Central department, the "Sonidos de la Tierra" festival route will continue to Caaguazú on August 28-29, then to Pedro Juan Caballero on October 17, and conclude in Caazapá on October 31. The organization emphasized that this initiative aims to bolster the artistic education of young people and promote culture as a tool for community development.
