About this Event
Accordion-wielding Chilean songstress Pascuala Ilabaca is a true hidden gem. A favourite on the vibrant scene of young Chilean singer-songwriters, her music is rooted in traditional sounds but effortlessly integrates shades of jazz, pop, and rock, with influences gathered from places as distant as India and Mexico.
Accompanied by her formidable band Fauna, Ilabaca’s unique stage presence conjures up sweetness and empowerment while simultaneously setting her songs alive with both fragility and verve. Her performance bridges the folkloric roots of the Andes with a contemporary global edge.
