ÉRASE UNA VEZ UN NIÑO …

This video-poem, a whimsical and heartwarming creation, is crafted for children and for all who have retained the wonder and curiosity of a child’s heart. It’s a lyrical journey, inspired by and dedicated to the profound love for nature that we share with my sound artist friend Diana María Restrepo.

In this enchanting piece, we have interwoven the captivating sounds of Caquetá with the serene and picturesque imagery of Subachoque, Colombia. These elements come together to form a tapestry that not only delights the senses but also invites viewers to reconnect with the natural world in a profound and meaningful way.

This video has been thoughtfully produced to mark the launch of a new series in the beloved collection ‘La Lira Lila’ of Arbo Solo Editorial. It’s a series that aims to ignite imaginations, foster a deep appreciation for our environment, and inspire a lifelong connection with the beauty and mystery of nature.

We hope that this video-poem will be a source of joy and wonder, encouraging young minds (and those young at heart) to explore, dream, and continue to marvel at the natural world around us.

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A BOY …
(Walt Whitman)
