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 leads its first metal mission to Finland

Chilemúsica’s participation in Hellsinki Metal Festival and Capital of Metal 2026 opened a new path for Chilean metal internationally. For the first time, Chilean artists, companies and organizations took part in Finland as a joint delegation, bringing sounds from the south of the world to one of the genre’s most important scenes.

The delegation brought together five companies and organizations from Santiago, Valparaíso, Futrono and Copiapó, alongside Pronoias, Intrascendence, Sobernot and Mawiza. The first three bands performed at the Chilean showcase at Semifinal, the iconic venue within the Tavastia complex, while Mawiza played a special acoustic set before taking the stage at Hellsinki Metal Festival, where the band delivered one of the day’s standout performances to a large and enthusiastic crowd. Chilemúsica and Chile: Terruño Sónico also hosted a networking gathering featuring Chilean wines, bringing the delegation together with international festivals, promoters and agents.

The mission delivered tangible results and opened new possibilities for Chilean projects in Finland, Sweden, Norway and the UK. Intrascendence has already confirmed its participation in a Finnish progressive metal festival in 2028, while other projects are beginning to be considered for future lineups.

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.
