Barro Fest
The Junta de Embra is a traditional activity in the Panamanian interior in which several families gather to build a house for a member of the community made of quincha (mud, wood, cane, dry grass, and vines). The quincha house was the traditional dwelling in the provinces until a few years ago, and although there are still some standing, they are becoming increasingly scarce.
The idea of the Barro Fest is to combine the traditional and the modern, through the construction of a quincha house on-site and the performances of alternative rock bands. One of the most important objectives of this activity is to get the embarra board included in the UNESCO Urgent Safeguard list, and for this Barro, Fest supports the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in the efforts of documentation and inventory of the activity.
