Recognizing that Latin America possesses a unique history and a rich diversity of cultures, Teresa Tufano founded the Latin American Folkloric Group in 1989 as a means of exposing the public to the wonders and diversity of Latin America through music, dance, and lectures about varied aspects of the region's cultures. From its inception, The Latin American Folkloric Group has showcased Latin American cultures primarily through its musical and dance performances. These performances have taken place at varied ethnic festivals held in Baltimore and at special programs organized by hospitals, high schools, military bases, and private organizations located in Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia. About Us We are a group of people from different nationalities and backgrounds whose purpose is to preserve ethenic traditions of Latin America for future generations by sharing and performing traditional song and dance. The principal values that all the participants of the group have, are commitment, responsibility, dedication and the true desire to share with pride and honor what each culture is all about.
