Sativasur was created in the Fall of 2005 with the intent of exploring the rich traditions of Colombian folk music within the context of improvisation.  

The diversity of its members’ interests and backgrounds produces a rich variety of elements - ranging from folk melodies and rhythms to free jazz - that combine to create a unique and fresh sound.  

The group considers itself an integral part of a much larger movement of young Colombian artists, both in their country and elsewhere, who are searching for a new approach to folkloric elements as the essence of their output.
