We are Wattaka, a nonprofit group that celebrates and promotes Venezuelan and Latin American culture through music and choral singing. We are dedicated to strengthening a sense of belonging and fostering cultural integration, connecting the community with artistic experiences that allow them to resonate with their roots and feel like their country is just a song away.
Wattaka weaves familiar Venezuelan and other Latin-American countries melodies into connections, uniting Tampa Bay singers through songs recalling childhood festivals and family tales. Our mission: design choral arrangements that honor tradition while embracing fresh interpretations, welcoming all experience levels. By fostering artistic expression, emotional well-being, and cultural exchange, we empower members to discover confidence, pride, and community through the healing resonance of harmony.
Join Tuesday evenings for friendly, hands-on sessions learning close harmonies and performance skills.
Perform at local festivals, celebrations, and events showcasing Venezuelan folk, sacred, and modern choral works.
Engage in lyric translation, rhythm clinics, and storytelling circles exploring song origins and history.
Wattaka stands apart by combining inclusivity, expertise, and cultural celebration in every note. Unlike traditional choirs, we eliminate auditions and welcome individuals of all backgrounds, fostering a safe, encouraging environment where passion is the only prerequisite. Our professional conductors and vocal coaches bring years of performance and teaching experience, ensuring that every rehearsal translates into polished, captivating performances. Moreover, Wattaka’s focus on cultural bridges connects new arrivals with established residents through shared musical experiences, deepening community bonds and mutual understanding. By choosing Wattaka, you join a dynamic chorus that honors Venezuelan heritage, boosts personal growth, and amplifies collective joy across Tampa Bay.
