Música Ficta (Colombian ensemble) explained
Música Ficta is an early music ensemble founded in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1988. The ensemble is specialized in the performance of Latin-American and Spanish renaissance and baroque music. It has performed in Europe, the Americas, the Far and Middle East, and it has been reviewed, among others, by The Washington Post, Goldberg Magazine, Fanfare, AllMusic and Le Monde de la Musique.
