The Flavio Galo Marimba and Guitar School was founded in 1996 in memory of the Christian singer, Flavio Galo, as a cultural and social initiative that ended up being the emblematic project of the Flavio Galo Foundation. It’s a cultural initiative, because it seeks to rescue Nicaraguan art and culture, and it’s a social initiative, because it seeks to make a positive impact in the Nicaraguan society by offering a healthy recreational activity and helping people of less financial means.

From the day it opened its doors to today, the school has had the privilege of teaching and training more than 3000 children, youth and adults in the art of playing marimba and guitar. Aside from the musical directors, the school also has the help of a significant group of young instructors that were once students at the Flavio Galo School and that now have years of experience playing their instrument. It’s this new generation of musicians that now teaches the students at the school to play their instrument!
