Cultural Connections Latin America (CCLA) is pleased to announce the tour in Mexico of Aiace, a Brazilian singer-songwriter whose music blends Afro-Bahian culture with pop, jazz, and electronic elements. From Salvador, Bahia, Aiace and her quartet will share the joy of their music in Aguascalientes, Mexico City, Xalapa, and Zacatecas.
This tour has been made possible thanks to the collaborative work promoted by the CCLA network, an initiative that creates room for dialogue to strengthen professional ties, showcase contemporary Latin American music creation, and promote artistic mobility in the region. Its aim is to multiply business opportunities and support the professional development of the sector through the exchange of best practices and the creation of specific collaborative projects.
Aiace is a success story of the network, since partner proposed her for Conexión Sónica, a virtual festival promoted by the network during the pandemic to generate audiovisual content to disseminate Latin American music. This led to Aiace winning virtual support from Ibermúsicas to produce a docu-concert, a live session that combines an interview where she explains the origins of her music and the cultures in which it developed. The following year, the network helped obtain invitation letters, enabling her to apply for and secure international mobility support from the Ibermúsicas program, covering her airfare. These same alliances allowed for scheduling and producing Aiace’s first tour in Mexico.
From CCLA, we want to thank everyone who has joined this initiative and now all of you who help amplify her music and concerts.
