This debut for 2021 will be at sunset in the garden of Tai Teatro, located in the heart of Villa Ortúzar. Mateo will perform in a soft power trio format with Ignacio Lutteri on Bass and Manuel Guzman (Ovo) on Congas.

Ciclo Caricias Significativas (vol.2), invites you to feel the diversity of sound textures, giving us moments that perfume the chambers of memory. Las Eras opens up the first of many dates for this CCS collection of performers
The sound of Las Eras shares aesthetic elements typical of the electronic traditions of discos such as New Beat or House. Exuding a mix of gothy electro tendencies, the lush synths soften the aggressively rhythmic drums.
Imagine post punkers ready to party and you’ll get a feeling for this sonic cocktail of goodness. They’ll be performing at the lovely Tai Teatro with limited availability, so be sure to snap up the remaining tickets.

Barbie Martinez at Virasoro Bar

Barbie Martinez presents The Funny Standards, performing a repertoire of songs with funny lyrics such as “Peel me a grape,” “Everything I’ve got belongs to you,” “Slappin the cakes on me,” “I believe in the lies of handsome men,” and “I want to be a sideman” among others.
Martinez creates a light-hearted take on the ever so serious world of jazz, intertwining it with fantastic musicianship to produce a unique experience.
