Rebel Diaz will not be performing tonight.
La Paula Herrera is a modern, Chilean singer-songwriter. She takes inspiration from the folkloric root of the Southern Cone. Her music travels through folklore and pop, with delicate touches of electronic music. In February 2013 she won the Silver Gaviota for the best song in the Viña Festival in the folk competition. Today Paula lives in Chicago and she's preparing the release of her latest album completely composed during the pandemic while isolated in the Chilean little town of Los Molles.
Nelson Sosa and his daughter Paola share the passion they have for Latin American Folk music by taking the audience on a musical trip through Central and South America, Mexico and the Caribbean, as well as including the most valuable ingredients from European and African Culture.
