About this plan
If you love music and poetry, this Bogotá event is for you. Café Musical is a four-session series that looks at how these two languages meet, from verse to song. Each session mixes listening, conversation, and analysis to show what happens when a poem turns into music.
The series covers singer-songwriters who wrote poetry before they wrote songs, the tradition of décima and improv verse, and ends with a creation workshop. The venue is Biblioteca Pública Julio Mario Santo Domingo in Suba. Admission is free.
It is part of Festival Reverso 2026, a cultural program that brings together art, ideas, and experimentation at venues across the city.
What to expect
- Four sessions of music and poetry
- A look at songwriters like Cohen, Dylan, and Patti Smith
- Décima and improv verse as a living tradition
- Final workshop on creating musicalized poems
- Free entry at a library in Suba
Who it's for
Great for fans of singer-songwriter music, poetry readers, and anyone curious about how words and sound connect in a friendly, hands-on setting.
