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.

Over the years, it has fostered connections, business opportunities, and collaborative platforms between both ecosystems, strengthening a strategic relationship within the Latin American circuit.

This presence highlights the decentralized nature and sustained growth of the sector.

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.
