Mauricio Venegas-Astorga

Chilean director, composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist, he developed his musical career outside Chile and has always had a close interest in the external influences on the music, culture and politics of his country. He has very successfully mixed his own tradition with different musical styles and instruments from around the world and his compositions are a fresh and exciting example of this, showing that he is not afraid of experimenting and approaching different genres, blending Latin American and world music with Tango, Celtic, African and Indian traditions. In addition to his musicianship and skills as a singer and composer, Mauricio's lyrics deliver a beautiful and strong message of freedom, peace and justice his words will not only touch your hearts but also your consciousness.
