Música Ficta is an early music ensemble founded in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1988. The ensemble is specialized in the performance of Latin-American and Spanish renaissance and baroque music. It has performed in nearly 30 countries in Europe, the Americas, the Far and Middle East. It has recorded for the labels Jade (France), Arion (France), Centaur (USA) and Arts Music (Germany).

The ensemble has recorded various unedited or scarcely known works from Latin-American musical archives, such as Bogotá, Mexico, Guatemala, Lima and Chiquitos (Bolivia). The group is also known for bringing to light unedited pieces by major 17th-century Spanish composers such as Sebastián Durón, Juan de Navas and José Marín.

Current members of the group are: Jairo Serrano (voice, percussion), Carlos Serrano (early woodwinds), and Julián Navarro (vihuela de mano, baroque guitar, theorbo), as well as guest musicians.
