Chilemúsica returns to Circulart to strengthen chilean presence in Colombia

Chile will once again take part in Circulart, one of Ibero-America’s leading music markets, taking place from June 4 to 7 in Medellín, Colombia. The national participation will be coordinated by Chilemúsica, with the support of the Ministerio de Las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio and ProChile, reinforcing the sustained internationalization work the organization has developed in Colombia over recent years.

Since the first exploratory actions carried out together with IMICHILE more than a decade ago, Chilemúsica has built a continuous presence at Circulart, generating concrete opportunities for Chilean music abroad. This new participation continues a trajectory that, throughout its previous editions, has benefited more than 50 companies and over 10 Chilean artists, strengthening networks, circulation, and strategic connections in one of the priority territories for the international development of the sector.

The 2026 delegation will include Carolina Records, Agencia Alvayay, Sonidos Crecientes, MusicActual, Isla Sonora Chiloé, Cosas Buenas, Mundovivo and Teatro Municipal de Chillán. Coming from cities such as Arica, Quilpué, Valparaíso, Frutillar, Santiago, Chillán and Chiloé, these organizations represent diverse perspectives and territories within the Chilean music industry, bringing together record labels, agencies, circulation platforms, and projects focused on international projection.

MEET THE CHILEAN DELEGATION

As part of the Chilean presence in Medellín, Chile’s official reception at Circulart — “Chile: Terruño Sónico: Toasts and Sounds Crossing the Andes” — will take place on Friday, June 5 at 3:30 PM at El Zarzao del Claustro Comfama. The event will create a meeting space where music and wine engage in dialogue through territory, identity, and sensory experience. Inspired by Chile’s extensive and diverse geography, the initiative seeks to connect territories, generate new links, and share a contemporary vision of Chilean culture in an international context.

The artistic representation will feature Paulina Pérez y Trama, a project led by singer-songwriter Paulina Pérez and based since 2021 in Chiloé, an archipelago located in Chilean Patagonia. Their proposal blends folk roots, fusion rock, jazz, and Latin American musical traditions such as cueca and huayno, while also incorporating poetry by Gabriela Mistral into a sonic and visual exploration connected to nature, identity, and collective experience. The project will be part of the official Circulart 2026 showcase program, with a performance on Saturday, June 6 at 4:30 PM at Teatro Comfama Alfonso Restrepo.

With this new participation, Chilemúsica continues expanding opportunities for connection and visibility for Chilean music across Latin America, fostering spaces for exchange, collaboration, and growth for artists and music companies. Chile’s presence at Circulart 2026 also reaffirms its commitment to strengthening long-term partnerships in Colombia, a key territory for the international expansion of the Chilean music ecosystem.

The Chilean presence will also be reflected across the professional and artistic program. On Tuesday, May 5, Cecilia Huerta (Altafonte) will take part in the panel “Artists Crossing Borders: Strategies for International Growth Without Losing Identity”. That same day, Francisca Sandoval, Chilemúsica’s General Manager, will participate in the working session “Business Models in the Music Industry”, organized by BIME and ELPAUER.

Chile’s participation in BIME Bogotá is supported by the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage and ProChile, as part of a strategy aimed at strengthening the international projection of the Chilean music industry and expanding its connections with key markets. This roadmap continues to activate networks and position Chile as a dynamic player within the international circuit.

Chile: Terruño Sónico. Music, wine and territory as a narrative of cultural identity

Chile: Terruño Sónico. Music, wine and territory as a narrative of cultural identity

Chile: Terruño Sónico was launched in 2025 as an initiative that brings together music, wine and territory, activating live experiences and national and international showcases that enabled its proposal to circulate and positioned the brand within strategic professional contexts. This first year marked the starting point of the initiative as a platform connecting creative and productive industries, projecting 2026 as a phase of expansion and consolidation.

During 2025, Terruño Sónico was present in various national contexts across the O’Higgins Region and the Metropolitan Region, activating in territories representative of Chile’s diverse terroirs. Its first activation took place in the commune of Navidad, within the coastal dryland territory, as part of Safari Sonoro. Subsequently, the project participated in +Crea Turismo in Santa Cruz, Colchagua Valley, an inland dryland territory, alongside Sernatur and Corfo, integrating into a space for articulation between cultural tourism and creative industries.

This was followed by its participation in the Jazz ChilEUropa Festival in Santiago, Central Valley, where Chilemúsica carried out an activation combining Chilean wine and live music during the closing concert at Centro GAM, attended by more than 400 people. This experience reinforced the connection between terroir, artistic creation and cultural identity.

International projection was also a central component of the project’s development. Chile: Terruño Sónico was presented at BOmm – Bogotá Music Market, featuring a toast that brought together Chilean wine and live music for international delegates. This line of work continued in Europe with Chilemúsica’s participation in WOMEX – Worldwide Music Expo in Finland, and BIME in Spain, where the initiative was introduced as an experience that crosses music, wine and tourism, strengthening ties with strategic markets.

Chile: Terruño Sónico is driven by Chilemúsica, the sector brand for the internationalization of Chilean music, which leads this initiative by connecting the music sector with wine and tourism, and strengthening the country’s visibility abroad.

Building on the trajectory developed throughout 2025, the initiative is preparing for a year of international expansion in 2026, with confirmed participation in nine strategic fairs and markets: FIM GDL in Mexico; Circulart and BIME PRO Bogotá in Colombia; jazzahead! in Germany; Classical:NEXT in Hungary; WTF Capital of Metal in Finland; WOMEX, BIME PRO and Monkey Week in Spain; and ADE – Amsterdam Dance Event in the Netherlands. This agenda marks a new stage of growth and positioning for Chilean cultural identity within high-impact international circuits.

Chile: Terruño Sónico continues to consolidate itself as a platform where music, wine and territory converge into a single narrative: that of a country that transforms its heritage into experience and its culture into future projection.

Nine events, five countries and a sustained agenda: Chilemúsica connects chilean music with leading international markets in 2025

In 2025, Chilemúsica consolidated an internationalization agenda in constant motion, strengthening connections with international markets through concrete actions in promotion, professional networking and collaboration, with a clear focus on measurable results for the Chilean music sector.

2025 IN NUMBERS

During 2025, Chilemúsica participated in 9 international events across 5 countries, representing an 12,5% increase compared to 2024. The agenda included markets and fairs such as FIM GDL, jazzahead!, BIME Bogotá, Classical:NEXT, Circulart, BOmm, WOMEX, BIME y Monkey Week, covering circuits of popular music, world music, jazz and classical music. These actions enabled the participation of 120 Chilean companies (a 34% increase compared to 2024) and 15 Chilean artists (a 50% increase year-on-year), through networking, showcases, B2B meetings, communication campaigns and music + wine activations.

CHILE: TERRUÑO SÓNICO – INITIAL STAGE

In 2025, Chilemúsica launched and developed the initial stage of Chile: Terruño Sónico, a platform that integrates music, wine and territory as a tool for international positioning and professional networking. The project was activated in strategic industry contexts, including its international launch at BOmm as well as networking and hospitality actions at fairs and markets such as BIME, WOMEX and Circulart. This stage made it possible to test formats, validate interest from international agents and articulate links between the music, wine and tourism sectors.

PRESENCE AT NATIONAL EVENTS 2025

The international agenda was complemented by active participation in key national events within the music and creative ecosystem. During 2025, Chilemúsica was present at Marejada (San Antonio), +CREA Turismo (Santa Cruz), Safari Sonoro (Navidad), Isla Sonora (Chiloé), Rockódromo (Valparaíso), Feria de la Música Pulsar (Santiago) and Fluvial (Valdivia), strengthening territorial articulation and connections between sector stakeholders.

2026 OUTLOOK: CONFIRMED INTERNATIONAL AGENDA

The work carried out during 2025 lays the groundwork for a new cycle of internationalization. For 2026, Chilemúsica has an agenda that will continue positioning Chilean music internationally, deepen relationships in priority markets and expand its presence in specialized circuits, incorporating greater genre diversification. This includes metal through WTF Capital of Metal (Finland) and electronic music through ADE – Amsterdam Dance Event (Netherlands), alongside jazz and classical music circuits developed during 2024 and 2025, and the popular music and world music circuits that Chilemúsica has been developing in a sustained manner for more than six years.

Chile positions itself as a hub for the music industry with three major events

Chile positions itself as a hub for the music industry with three major events

Rockódromo Industria in Valparaíso, Pulsar Music Fair in Santiago, and Fluvial in Valdivia will host over 100 international delegates and a full schedule of industry-focused activities.

In the coming weeks, the global music industry will turn its attention to Chile. Three music events taking place in different regions of the country will bring together more than 100 international delegates, hundreds of accredited professionals, over 100 showcases, and a full slate of networking activities, including business meetings, professional exchanges, and sector-driven encounters — positioning Chile as an active force in the regional industry.

These are Rockódromo Industria, Feria de la Música Pulsar and Fluvial, three events with different approaches but a shared goal: to position Chile as a growing music market and support the internationalization of our creative scene.

From November 26 to 30, Valparaíso will host the second edition of Rockódromo Industria, a training-focused gathering held under the umbrella of Rockódromo Festival, one of the region’s most relevant events with more than 20 years of history, organized by the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage.

The event will offer talks, workshops, panels, and business meetings aimed at the emerging national music scene — all part of a program that complements the festival, which continues to consolidate itself as a stage where Chilean music from all eras and all corners of the country converges.

Featured guests include Nicole and Carlos Cabezas, along with industry agents such as Stefany Navarro (digital marketing), Emiliano Rodríguez (Niceto Club, Argentina), Gerardo Castillo (Aguascalientes Festival Network, Mexico), and Gustavo Cerqueiras (Music InFusion). Aula Rockódromo will also gather emerging artists and agents from Arica to Punta Arenas to learn from mentors such as Wanda Flores and Carlos Salazar.

All activities are free of charge and will be held across several cultural centers in the city.

PULSAR AND FLUVIAL: A GROWING COLLABORATION

The following week in Santiago, from December 5 to 7, Pulsar Music Fair will celebrate its 15th anniversary with a broad and diverse international delegation of more than 30 professionals from around the world. Venue programmers, festival directors, experts, and other industry leaders will spend three days attending nearly 40 live performances included in the fair’s program and connecting with Chilean professionals accredited for this pioneering national event.

The fair also includes a series of training-oriented activities, most notably the first Sync Camp — a program focused on synchronization, designed to prepare Chilean musicians to compose, perform, record, and license music for audiovisual productions. Through these initiatives, Pulsar seeks to continue contributing to industry professionalization and supporting the internationalization of Chilean music, with a strong emphasis on creators. This year, it also strengthens its collaborative relationship with Fluvial, where it will participate with a series of joint activities.

The cycle concludes in Valdivia from December 10 to 13 with the ninth edition of Fluvial, an international gathering aimed at developing the Chilean music industry and known for bringing one of the largest international delegations visiting the country each year. The music and landscape of historic Valdivia serve as a backdrop for agents, managers, producers, and artists to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and build partnerships for global circulation.

Fluvial 2025 will place special emphasis on the synchronization sector, deepening the work started in 2024. This will be reflected in the second edition of Fluvial Sync, an advanced program on music synchronization whose inaugural version marked a milestone in the professionalization of the Chilean music sector regarding audiovisual sync, yielding concrete results such as official placements and signed contracts with international agencies.

All in all, the coming weeks will be key for the development of the local industry and for reinforcing Chile’s position as an active musical player in the Southern Cone — a market worth watching, one that, despite its size, manages to present three industry events in different regions of the country through coordinated efforts between public and private actors, establishing a narrative that highlights the sector’s diversity and growing capacity for collaboration.

Marineros arrives in Spain for the first time

The band will make its debut at Monkey Week in El Puerto de Santa María, along with performances in Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia.

Marineros, the Chilean duo formed by Soledad Puentes and Cer and recognized as one of the most influential acts in Chile’s alternative pop scene, announces its first tour in Spain. The project arrives with a renewed live show, full-band format, and its distinctive dreampop sound, built on ethereal atmospheres and introspective lyrics. This visit follows an active season of performances in Chile and the recent release of their single “Lo que siento.”

With two studio albums, “O Marineros” (2015) and “Al calor de un sol que acaba de morir” (2023), both produced by Cristián Heyne and Soledad Puentes, the duo continues to expand its creative universe and consolidate a body of work that has influenced a new generation of artists. This tour marks a new chapter in their trajectory and strengthens the connection between the Chilean and Spanish music scenes.

One of the milestones of the visit will be their debut at the 17th edition of Monkey Week SON Estrella Galicia, one of the most important professional and artistic gatherings of the Ibero-American independent music scene. The event will take place from November 20 to 22 in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, bringing together emerging artists, professionals, and delegations from various countries. Marineros will perform live on Friday, November 21 at 7:45 PM at Teatro Municipal Pedro Muñoz Seca.

The participation of Marineros in Monkey Week is supported by Chilemúsica, within the framework of the brand’s work to showcase and project Chilean music in strategic international markets. Spain is one of its priority countries, and the presence of Chilean projects at the festival aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen the sector’s visibility within the Ibero-American industry.

This is Chilemúsica’s third participation in Monkey Week, following an exploratory mission carried out with IMICHILE in 2012, which marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship with the conference. Since then, active exchange has been promoted between both organizations, consolidating a sustained collaborative relationship and generating new opportunities for artists and professionals from both territories. As part of this ongoing alliance, representatives from Monkey Week have visited Chile twice to participate in the Fluvial and Pulsar, conferences, further strengthening the connection and expanding collaboration between the two scenes.

Marineros’ tour began on Wednesday, November 19 in Barcelona (Jamboree 3) and continues on Sunday, November 23 in Madrid (Café Berlín). Both dates are part of Ciclo BaCáN, a Chilean music concert series held in Spain since 2021. The initiative, led by La Sagrada Música, focuses on promoting Chilean music and is supported in 2025 by the Embassy of Chile in Spain and the Cultural Affairs Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The tour concludes on Friday, November 28 in Valencia at Centro Excursionista Bar, where they will share the stage with Catalan artist Carlota Flâneur.

In order to support the international diffusion and export of the Chilean music industry, a tool was generated to identify the artists, agents, producers, and technicians who are practicing outside the country.

It is a fact that the Chilean music industry does not only develop from our country.

There are many agents who reside and practice abroad and from there contribute to the internationalization of our scene. For this reason, from Chilemúsica arises the initiative to open and connect the borders of the Chilean music industry for national workers abroad.

In this context, a survey for the entire chain of the music industry it’s being carried out, considering Chilean artists, agents, producers, bookers, and technicians; among others, residing in other countries.

Having this information will be vital to gather data and guidelines about the work of industry agents who live outside the country.

“We know that the music industry is one of the most affected in the world as a result of the current pandemic. As Chilemúsica, we want to know the situation of the Chilean who work in the sector and live outside our country to help them in the promotion of their work. We do not know how long the suspension of traveling and transfers between countries will continue,” says Oliver Knust, director of Chilemúsica.

We call for you to respond to this survey to have a broader view when directing our efforts as a sector brand.

Chilemúsica accompanies your quarantine days with chilean music lists

Every week we will release lists with historical and heritage material on Spotify.

As a way to make Chilean music visible, at a time when the world is turning to a digital life as a result of COVID-19, as a team at Chilemúsica, a sector brand that promotes the Chilean music industry abroad, we made a selection that will discover the most important musical milestones in our country by decade, starting in the 1940s.

The investigation was based, mainly, on the material offered and ordered chronologically by Musicapopular.cl, press of the time and testimonial files. In addition, we will have lists by genres, labels and themes, with the support and collaboration of experts and authorized voices of Chilean popular music in its curatorship.

“In these moments of crisis, we want to contribute to promoting Chilean music through digital streaming. We believe that we should start by showing the foundations of the Chilean music industry, in chronological order and by decade. Then connect cultural and commercial relationships with target markets; Mexico, Peru and Spain. Finally we will begin to make visible by genre and fundamental artists in specific playlists. We must take advantage of the time for the reality to which the Coronavirus has forced us, in need new opportunities and bridges are born to face what is to come”, said Oliver Knust, director of Chilemúsica.

The lists will feature great exponents of the country’s musical history, various genres such as jazz, folklore, learned, pop and indie, among many more.

Rodrigo Ulloa, part of the editorial committee of Chilemúsica, comments that it has been a gratifying work where “we have tried to select old and current material and, although we still have to digitize music from other times and styles, we have found some findings such as Nahuel Jazz Quartet, one of the forerunners of the genre, plenty of material by Claudio Arrau and pieces rescued in digital format by Chito Faró and Ester Sore that music lovers will surely appreciate.”

Today we will share the first three lists with music from the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s through our Chilemúsica profile on Spotify, an action that will be repeated weekly with more new lists.
