Festival between tradition and innovative
Latin American music
Welcome to Conexión Sónica, a space where you will discover music that fuses the ancestral cultural heritage of Latin America with contemporary expressions.
From September 20 to 26, 2021, 7 docu-concerts will be presented, one per day, where in addition to the music, the performers explain the origins of the instruments and the social contexts where these musics are developed. For this first edition, we present sound stories of the harp in Paraguay, the aerophones of Bolivia, the marimba and percussions of Colombia, calypso and electronic music in Costa Rica, indigenous dances and instruments in Panama and multicultural intertwining in Chile.
Beyond the mix of musical genres, Conexión Sónica aims at the fusion of temporalities, historical periods and intergenerational cultural dialogues. This is the first collaborative project of the CCLA network and is supported by the Ibermúsicas program.

Pedro Martínez y Sixto Corbalán
Country: Paraguay
Premiere: Tuesday 21
Sixto Corbalán (Paraguayan harp) and Pedro Martínez (guitar), offer a proposal of Paraguayan instrumental music with a contemporary look. Martínez and Corbalán are two great representatives of the current generation of Paraguayan musicians who seek in their compositions and arrangements a new sonority of Paraguayan music with the traditional instruments of the country, the harp and the guitar, as the main axis. The repertoire, mostly authorial, starts from polkas and guaranías and reveals itself in fresh and dynamic versions with a rich rhythmic and harmonic diversity.
