Chilemúsica brings sounds from the south of the world to five key music industry events in Spain

From 19 October to 21 November, Chilemúsica will take part in five major music industry events across Spain, one of its priority markets for international growth. With professional delegations, exhibition stands, networking events and live performances, Chilemúsica will showcase Sounds from the south of the World across global music, indie, jazz and different areas of the music business.

Chilemúsica is strengthening its presence in Spain with a packed schedule covering RADAR Madrid, WOMEX, BIME, Fira B! and Monkey Week. Each event brings together different communities and industry sectors, offering valuable opportunities to build lasting relationships, explore new partnerships and connect Chile’s music industry with professionals across Europe and Latin America.

The journey kicks off at RADAR Madrid, from 19 to 21 October. As the event celebrates its first edition, Chilemúsica will explore its potential as a new industry platform, identify opportunities for collaboration and assess future involvement. The Chilean delegation includes Artemedios, EM Music Supervision / ASM Chile, Fluvial / Chilemúsica, Sonidos Crecientes and La Oreja, representing different areas of the music sector.

From 21 to 25 October, Chilemúsica returns to WOMEX for the fourth time, this year in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Widely regarded as the world’s leading international event for global music, WOMEX is a key meeting point for artistic exchange, international touring and connections with music professionals from around the globe.

The delegation will bring together 13 Chilean companies and organisations, including five from the Ñuble Region in south-central Chile. Stands A3 and A4 will serve as a meeting point for industry professionals and a space to discover Chile’s musical talent and business opportunities.

On Wednesday 21 October at 16:00 hrs, Chilemúsica will host the Chile: Terruño Sónico Networking Reception, bringing together music, culture and a curated selection of Chilean wines. The gathering will introduce the delegation to international guests, spark new conversations and create opportunities for future collaborations.

MEET THE CHILEAN DELEGATION

From 27 to 30 October, Chilemúsica will make its seventh appearance at BIME, in Bilbao, one of the most diverse industry gatherings on this tour. More than 10 companies and organisations will join the delegation, representing record labels, artist management, live production, festivals, media, distribution, sync, music rights and other services. Five participants will come from the Ñuble Region, further expanding opportunities for Chilean music businesses beyond the capital.

Alongside its stand in the professional area, Chilemúsica will host “Chilemúsica y Terruño Sónico: Pitch & Wine – Connections from the South” on Wednesday 28 October, from 15:45 to 16:30 hrs, in Room 5H. The session will feature short presentations, networking and a selection of Chilean wines, creating a relaxed setting for meaningful industry connections.

Casa Robot, Bar de René and Carolina Records will also take part in the “Meet the International Professionals” speed meetings. Chilean talent will also be represented on stage by Ñuble-based composer, pianist and music producer Valentina Peralta, performing on Wednesday 28 October, from 20:00 to 20:40 hrs, at La Ribera.

The next stop is Fira B! Música in Palma de Mallorca, from 4 to 7 November, marking Chilemúsica’s second participation. This year, the Chilean presence will place a special focus on jazz, a field in which Chile has joined the Ibero-American Jazz Network and is actively contributing to a research project led by Embodied Reports and the Chilean Digital Music Observatory (ODMC). The study will be presented during the event.

The live programme will also feature Emilia y Pablo and Benjamín Aedo, bringing Chilean artists to a platform that connects performers, festival programmers, cultural organisations and industry professionals while encouraging touring opportunities and cross-border collaboration.

Finally, from 19 to 21 November, Chilemúsica will return for the third time to Monkey Week SON Estrella Galicia in El Puerto de Santa María. Known for its focus on independent, alternative and emerging music, the festival combines live showcases with an industry programme connecting artists, labels, booking agencies, promoters and festival professionals.

This visit builds on an ongoing exchange with Monkey Week, strengthening relationships established in previous editions and creating new pathways for Chilean talent to connect with Spain’s vibrant independent music community.

Across these five events, Chilemúsica continues to champion the diversity of Chilean music through an international strategy tailored to different genres, audiences and business opportunities. By building stronger connections in Spain, a key market for the organisation, Chilemúsica is opening new doors for Chilean artists and music companies, supporting international touring, creative partnerships and long-term growth.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
