Canto a lo divino – collective musical memory from Chile
Counterflows is excited to share this fascinating project from Chile in both Glasgow and Skye. We invite you to join us for food, film and music at Civic House and with our friends in Skye in partnership with ATLAS Arts at An Talla Mòr, Portree.
Canto a lo divino is a unique musical expression of the Chilean peasant world. It is mostly rooted in the Central Valley, a space at the skirt of the mountains, valleys and dry land between the Choapa Province in the north and the Linares Province in the south, following the slopes of the major rivers crossing the different territories and towns of this great region: Choapa, Aconcagua, Maipo, Cachapoal, Tinguiririca, Mataquito and Maule.
