MILENA SALAMANCA

Following a year packed with shows in Argentina, Milena Salamanca is embarking on a European tour to present her Latin American folk repertoire to a new audience. In recent months, the Argentine singer-songwriter has cemented her presence with the release of her EP *Crónicas Volume 2*, as well as performances on numerous stages and at festivals across the country. In doing so, she blends tradition with a contemporary sensibility.

Renowned for her interpretative power and her deep connection to the popular songbook, Milena is entering this new international phase at a time of great artistic growth. The performances on the European tour will feature both versions of the folklore repertoire and her own compositions, which will form part of Milena’s next album.

However, before the wonderful Milena Salamanca captivates us with her singing and dancing, Pacha Agus will lead the audience in a Chacarera dance workshop – followed by a concert of the band Wayra Puka.

Wayra Puka plays music from across the Andean region. They take their listeners on a musical journey from Argentina, through Chile, Bolivia and Peru, all the way to Colombia. In doing so, they play a variety of genres and rhythms, such as the Huayno, the Saya and the Tinku, which bring the carnival atmosphere with them, the Bailecito, the Cueca and the Chacarera, which originate from Argentina, as well as Andean and Colombian Cumbias.

Through their music, Wayra Puka brings this South American warmth to Berlin.

Doors open at 7:30pm.
