And yet with time for being totally immersed in the culture of my city to rescue and foster it.

'The difference between European and Bolivian baroque music can be summed up in one word: happiness', says Cecilia Kenning de Mansilla of APAC, the Asociación Pro Arte Y Cultura.

'After all, in Europe, baroque music was a product of the Reformation, which meant that it wasn't as exuberant as its Latin American cousin. In Europe, it was really that the glory of the Lord was being exalted. And there is one more difference: Bolivian baroque music is usually less technically complicated, as Latin Americans didn't have such good instruments and musical training as in Europe.'
