About Us
In 1995, Mr. Miguel Vargas, Founder and Director of BAJUCOL and a graduate student at the Northeastern University in Boston, through meetings with other Colombian Professionals, and the Colombian Chamber of Commerce of East Boston, and members of the community, realized the harm that had been inflicted by the media in its portrayal of Colombians as drug dealers. Motivated by the need for promoting the true culture and image of Colombia, Mr. Vargas founded the Ballet Folkloric Juvenil Colombiano.
