Corobicí Musical Ensemble
The folk dancing and musical ensemble of the Universidad Técnica Nacional, Sede Guanacaste, was started in 2015 with the aim of bringing a variety of music to each of their exhibitions.

Alma Llanera Marimba Ensemble
The marimba ensemble is the legacy of a previous group directed by Professor Medardo Guido Acevedo and formed by marimba players such as Matias Palomino (father), Matias Palomino (son) and Eulalio Guadamuz. In their honor, the group has kept the same name, continuing their legacy for more than 30 years.
Its young members today include Solimar Guevara, Alonso Herra, Javier Matarrita, Edgar Leal and Nicolás Guevara, whose purpose is to perpetuate the legacy and music of Guanacaste composers.
