The main characteristic of Grupo Bahia has been the preservation of the roots, feeling and spirituality of the music of this region, through investigation, creation and it’s diffusion in an urban context.

The unique interpretation of the Pacific rhythms created by Hugo Candelario, where his ‘marimba de chonta’ takes the lead role, can be experienced in 3 formats: Orchestra, Ensemble and Trio. Each with it's distinct sound and personality, all highlighting the sound of the marimba.

Bahia's career of more than 22 years, is part of a cultural movement that has universal recognition . UNESCO declared the music of the marimba and chantsof Colombia’s South Pacific as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”.
