The folk group Malinche join Carlos Mejía Godoy and TrovAzul for a series of performances in states with a large presence of Nicaraguans.
HAVANA TIMES – A folk group, a group of troubadours, and singer-songwriter Carlos Mejía Godoy have joined in a “cultural caravan” — called “NicaraguAmor” — to bring their music and dance to Nicaraguan communities in the United States.
“NicaraguAmor” emerged in February 2024 as an initiative of the Nicaraguan folk group “Malinche,” who proposed it to Carlos Mejía Godoy and the musical group “TrovAzul.”
“We didn’t know what to call the initiative or how to do it, but Carlos Mejía, always with his ideas and idiosyncrasy, said to us — ‘why not call it NicaraguAmor,’ and so it was,” explained Ada Marling Herrera, coordinator of the initiative and founder of “Malinche,” a group of ten Nicaraguans who perform at all Latin American activities held in New York.
