Bola Suriana began in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico in December of 1989. The name of the group is taken in honor of General Emiliano Zapata, who fought beside the poor for land and liberty during the Mexican Revolution of 1910, his army was called the Bola Suriana.
Since its founding, Bola Suriana has worked hard to present and diffuse traditional and popular music from Mexico and other Latin American countries, especially indigenous and mestiza music from Michoacán, as well as Canto Nuevo (protest music) which has surfaced as its own type of music.
Bola Suriana composes many of its own pieces within these and other genres, presenting them in many concerts annually in Michoacán, throughout the rest of Mexico, and abroad.
Twenty-two international tours, participating in festivals and offering concerts in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Germany, Lithuania, Russia, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rico, Canada, Bolivia, Cuba and in the United States, as well as many presentations on radio and television within and outside of Mexico, demonstrate the constant work that Bola Suriana has done and continues to do. These activities are achieved in an independent forum, as well as with the coordination and support of the following services: the University of Michoacán of St. Nicholas of Hidalgo, the Secretary of Public Education of the State, and the Cultural Institute of Michoacán.
