Tearing Down Pinochet
The vibrant music revolution that emerged during Pinochet's era stands as a powerful testament to art's resilience amid oppression. During this remarkable period, artists and musicians united, using their craft as tools of expression and resistance. Their songs reflected the nation's struggles and aspirations, turning melodies into anthems of rebellion and solidarity.
The show by Sounds of Chile featuring Grupo Contracanto, will boldly present these enduring songs that became hymns of resistance. Each song will be assertively introduced by our storyteller to provide context collecting stories that will be shared through visuals, enabling the audience to fully immerse themselves in the profound lyrics and those moments full of emotions and challenges.
This show is supported by Arts Unlimited and the City of Charles Sturt.
Presented by: Sounds of Chile
Sounds of Chile is a collective of local South Australian artists formed in 2023 who come together to share the rich and vibrant traditional music of Chile. They combine instruments such as guitar, bass, clarinet, zampoña, quena, cajón, tañador, and the cueca’s tambourine. Their performances are a heartfelt tribute to Chilean culture that will transport you straight to the heart of Chile.
Featuring Group Contracanto, a group of Latin American music lovers who have been developing their activity in Adelaide and with international performances that have made their style a new piece within the community, always willing to show solidarity and contribute, they have developed a cultural line that transmits and keeps alive that very important tradition of our Latin America.
