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.

Chilemúsica consolidates its presence across all editions of BIME Bogotá and arrives this year with its largest delegation to date

Chilemúsica returns to BIME Bogotá, reinforcing its work in Colombia—one of its key markets for the internationalization of Chilean music. Over the years, it has fostered connections, business opportunities, and collaborative platforms between both ecosystems, strengthening a strategic relationship within the Latin American circuit.

BIME Bogotá —taking place from May 5 to 7, 2026— has established itself as one of the leading music industry gatherings in the region. In this context, Chile arrives with a delegation of more than 30 representatives from companies and organizations in the sector, its largest to date.

This year, the focus is on networking and building new connections. The delegation reflects the diversity of Chile’s music ecosystem, with projects coming from Arica, Santiago, San Antonio, Concepción, Chillán, Osorno, and Coyhaique, along with a strong representation from the Ñuble region. This presence highlights the decentralized nature and sustained growth of the sector.

Participating organizations include Jaipp, Telúrica Producciones, Sello Fisura, Agrupación MUDO, Cactus Music, Carolina Records, Mundovivo, Sello Trigal, Magbar, Lichens, Locatalira, EM Music Supervision / Asociación de Supervisión Musical de Habla Hispana, Intrépido, DSM & Humboldt Electronics, Feria Pulsar, SCD, Red Poncho, SurPop Records, El Ñublensino, NegraLuna HomeStudio, Cosas Buenas Producciones, Quincha, Mercado Creativo y Musical de Ñuble, FAQ Music, Altafonte, Teatro la Matriz, We Make Noise Santiago, Chillán Conciertos, Vida Música Chile and singer-songwriters Maria Simon and Lite Ruiz.

MEET THE CHILEAN DELEGATION

As part of its program, Chilemúsica will present “Chile: Pitch & Wine – Conexiones desde el Sur”, an event combining short project pitches with a curated tasting of Chilean wines. Designed to activate exchange, encourage professional interaction, and open new opportunities for collaboration, the activity will take place on Tuesday, May 5, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at P1 Laboratorio de Emprendimientos (Floor 1, Universidad EAN).

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.

On Wednesday, May 6, producer and composer Taiko —known for his work with artists such as J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Mora, and Paloma Mami— will join the panel “Producers: The Present and Future of Sound”. On the same day, Enzo Massardo will lead the workshop “7 Keys to Sync: How to Increase Your Chances of Getting Your Music Placed”.

Live performances will also be part of the Chilean presence. At BIME Live, Amigo de Artistas —a Chilean urban cumbia duo formed by Diego Noguera (Godie) and Vicente Cibié (V.I.C.)— and Julianno Sosa, one of the standout names in Chilean trap, will perform on Thursday, May 7 at Kaputt Club.

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.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECTION 2026: CONSOLIDATION AND MARKET EXPANSION

As part of its internationalisation strategy, Chilemúsica will continue strengthening its presence in key markets throughout 2026, combining consolidation in priority circuits with expansion into new specialised spaces.

In this context, Chilemúsica’s participation in jazzahead! 2026 stands out as a key milestone. As the leading international jazz trade fair, it will take place from 22 to 25 April in Bremen, Germany. Chilemúsica will be present with a stand and a delegation of 15 professionals, along with the musical projects Camila Bañados and NUBES, by César Vidal & Nicolás Vera, further consolidating its presence in the European jazz circuit and strengthening connections with agents, presenters and international festivals.

The 2026 agenda also includes an expansion into high-impact niche circuits, with participation in WTF – Capital of Metal in Helsinki and ADE – Amsterdam Dance Event in Amsterdam, extending the reach of Chilean music into the metal and electronic music sectors.

Throughout the year, Chilemúsica will also take part in international events such as BIME PRO Bogotá, Circulart in Medellín, BOmm – Bogotá Music Market, WOMEX in Gran Canaria, BIME PRO Bilbao and Monkey Week in Spain, further consolidating the presence of Chilean music in the global circuit.

This international agenda reflects a dynamic and diverse year for Chilemúsica, spanning multiple sectors of the music industry. It will strengthen the presence of Chilean artists and professionals in key markets while expanding into new genres and specialised circuits.

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.

Marineros arrives in Spain for the first time

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.

Chilemúsica conducts a survey for chilean music workers abroad

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.

ANSWER THE SURVEY

The personal information delivered will be treated under the strictest confidentiality and will not be used in any way for any other purpose. No information will be published in a personal name, it will always be treated in aggregate.

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.

Chilemúsica llega a México como marca sectorial enfocada en el intercambio musical

27/02/2020 by Chilemúsica

chilean music industry, chilemusica, sector brand

chilemusica, marcasectorial, theselectorpro, theselectorprocdmx

Chilemúsica llega a México como marca sectorial enfocada en el intercambio musical

La primera misión de Chilemúsica se centrará en The Selector Pro CDMX, a realizarse entre el 29 de febrero y el 1 de marzo. Incluye actividades de sociabilización, networking y la presentación en vivo de Paz Court y Tomás Urquieta.

Paralelamente, estará presente en la primera versión de Recreo Festival en la capital azteca.

Una de las metas de la recién estrenada marca sectorial “Chilemúsica”, será posicionar a la industria musical chilena en tres importantes mercados internacionales: España, México y Perú. Siendo la primera misión, México.

Históricamente, entre Chile y México, existe una vinculación cultural que ha alimentado el patrimonio de la música de ambos países. Por un lado, las rancheras y la influencia del cine mexicano en los años ‘40 en el Chile del siglo XX; y en el otro extremo, la internacionalización del bolero en la voz del chileno Lucho Gatica desde México para el mundo.

Estas dos maneras de hacer música desde lados opuestos del continente latinoamericano, han bebido mutuamente de la influencia de sus estandartes culturales viajando de Norte a Sur y de Sur a Norte durante décadas. Partieron desde Chile, rumbo a México, bandas como Los Tres, La Ley y Los Bunkers. Aterrizaron en Chile desde México, Jorge Negrete y Juan Gabriel para quedarse siempre en la cultura popular de los chilenos. Hoy, Mon Laferte, cuyos primeros pasos fueron en su tierra natal (Chile) hace historia en su segunda casa, México, y se convierte en un fenómeno de la música, rompiendo rankings y cifras de streaming en la industria internacional.

Para Oliver Knust, director de Chilemúsica e IMICHILE, la llegada de la marca sectorial al país azteca, responde a una relación de décadas que se ha ido afianzando “México es un enorme mercado, que ha sido para la música chilena una gran catapulta para varios de nuestros mejores representantes artísticos. Hay un peso histórico, Chile ha conocido sus sensibilidades a través de la música y el cine. Así mismo, México se ha enterado del sentir chileno escuchando y leyendo a gente como Los Bunkers y Roberto Bolaño. Actualmente los músicos independientes, que han hecho un trabajo a pulso durante los últimos 20 años, han generado presencia en los principales festivales y ferias de todo México. La invitación es a que juntos sigamos trabajando en este intercambio enriquecedor”.

Entre el 29 de febrero y el 1 de marzo de 2020, en el marco de THE SELECTOR PRO en Ciudad de México, será presentada la marca sectorial Chilemúsica, con actividades de lanzamiento, socialización y networking.

La delegación de industria chilena que participará en el encuentro, está compuesta por Consuelo Cortez (Lápiz Papel), Pablo Porter (Jungla Music) y Rodrigo Santis (Quemasucabeza), junto a Oliver Knust y Francisca Sandoval de Chilemúsica.

Entre el nutrido cartel de actividades, se destacan los showcases de artistas, escenario en el cual se presentarán Paz Court y Tomás Urquieta el sábado 29 de febrero a las 18:00hrs.

El domingo 1 de marzo a las 17:00hrs. -en el escenario “Selector Radio”– Chilemúsica presenta: Introducción sobre la relación musical entre Chile y México, una conversación entre su director, Oliver Knust, y el músico chileno Carlos Reinoso (AyeAye – Mostro), donde reflexionarán en torno al intercambio cultural entre ambos países. La actividad será transmitida por la página de www.selectorpro.mx al estilo de un programa de radio.

Ese mismo día habrá un panel de conversación sobre “Ideas para pensar la innovación digital en la música” donde participarán Malfi Dorantes (Music PR de México), Francisca Sandoval (Chilemúsica), Nicolás Madoery (Asociación de Sellos Independientes de Argentina) y Leonardo Moreno (Jefe de Contenidos Musicales para Ibero 90.9, México).

En esta primera misión a México, la marca sectorial de la música chilena también generará un espacio de networking y apoyará en difusión a Recreo Festival, evento de música electrónica independiente que se gestó en Chile el año 2018 y llega por primera vez a Ciudad de México para celebrar su décimo primera edición. Esta fiesta electrónica latinoamericana con una propuesta artística, que reivindica la fiesta como movimiento social y agente de cambio se realizará el 29 de febrero, con más de 25 artistas, algunos representativos del underground chileno, además de músicos y djs de la escena Mexicana y Argentina. Completarán 14 horas de música, en 3 escenarios, en la Ex Fabrica de Harina donde desplegarán una variada gama de sonoridades electrónicas, visuales, y performance.

Chilemúsica, fue creada gracias al trabajo de la Asociación Gremial Industria Musical Independiente de Chile (IMICHILE); ProChile, la Subsecretaría de las Culturas y las Artes, la Corporación de Fomento de la Producción (Chilecreativo) y la Sociedad Chilena de Autores e Intérpretes Musicales (SCD) para enfocar el trabajo que se hace con la exportación de la música nacional.
