SONG

Bulevar de los Sueños (Boulevard of Dreams)

"Bulevar de los Sueños" is a composition by our founders José Soto and María Amalia Quesada, who together form the musical group Bosquejo en Riesgo. This song is an initiative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for their “Paisajes Productivos Costa Rica” project, to help with the restoration of Los Yoses Boulevard.

The lyrics were constructed based on the comments that were received from members of the community of Los Yoses. Whatsmore, to promote safe spaces within this community, for this initiative there were songs dealing with gender equality that were created by Orquesta Juventud Esperanza, which is an educational musical program by the foundation.

UNDP promotes change and connects countries with the required knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.
