Paz Sin Fronteras Concert This Sunday on Colombian-Venezuelan Border


This Sunday, March 16th, on a bridge linking Venezuela and Colombia, music will join the two nations as well, following political drama between the South American countries. The Concierto Paz Sin Fronteras (The Peace Without Borders Concert)will feature Miguel Bosé, Juan Luis Guerra, Juanes, Ricardo Montaner, Alejandro Sanz, Juan Fernando Velasco And Carlos Vives. This concert on the Simón Bolívar Bridge Linking Cucuta, Colombia, and San Antonio del Tachira , Venezuela is Juanes brainchild, revealing his continuing interest and activism in human rights and peace issues in his country, Colombia and in Latin America as a whole.
Hundreds of thousands are expected to attend, from both sides of the border.

To further demonstrate the idea of unity in the pursuit of peace beyond borders, all artists will forgo any wardrobe of national colors and dress only in white - and have asked concert attendees to follow suit. Likewise, the entire bridge/concert stage will be adorned with white flags. The concert is expected to begin with a children’s chorus, comprised of 35 Colombian and 35 Venezuelan children, followed by 3-song performances by each participating artist. All artists are expected to join together for several songs during the concert’s finale.
