Since its founding in Argentina in 2006, the Sonamos Latinoamérica Festival has grown into much more than a festival – it is a movement. A cultural bridge connecting Latin America with the world. This unique event brings the rich sounds and deep emotions of Latin American music to the heart of Brussels.
With editions in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Venezuela, Sonamos Latinoamérica is a rare gem in Europe, with Belgium being one of the few host countries. From March 25 to 28, 2026, the festival invites you on a musical journey through the rhythms of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico and Ecuador.
At the second evening concert of the Sonamos Latinoamérica Festival, we travel through Mexico and Colombia.
Música de Barro
Música de Barro is a Mexican duo from Oaxaca that connects traditional Latin American sounds with contemporary aesthetics. Their music weaves popular styles together with classical guitar, violin and electronic textures.
The roots of Oaxacan tradition remain clearly present, while futuristic sound layers open up new listening worlds. With influences ranging from Son Istmeño, Son Huasteco and Son Jarocho to Cuban music, as well as jazz, blues and African rhythms, they create a unique and poetic sound.
The duo has performed at major festivals and theatres throughout Mexico. They are currently working on their debut album, Música de Barro.
