abstract:The Pacific Music Festival (パシフィック・ミュージック・フェスティバル) is a classical music festival founded in 1990. Originally planned to be held in Beijing, the location moved to Sapporo.
But in late summer, for the five days of the Petronio Alvarez PacificMusicFestival, salsa takes a back seat to the diverse sounds of Colombian Pacificmusic like cumbia and currulao, and its cacophony of percussion instruments, like the marimba.
