Ayala, Camilo - Esmeralda

Esmeralda takes its name from one of the most treasured gemstones found in Boyacá, Colombia—a land renowned for the unmatched beauty of its emeralds. Boyacá lies in the heart of the Andean region, birthplace of the pasillo, the traditional rhythm that serves as the soul of this composition. In Emerald, the elegance and brilliance of the gemstone are reflected through the music’s delicate phrasing and vibrant melodic lines, paying homage to the cultural and natural richness of this remarkable region.
