MOSAICO: Tunes from Latin America & the Carribbean

The mosaic is an artistic technique, created through the

intentional combination of multiple, diverse elements which

come together in a new form to decorate walls, floors or

ceilings, replacing the paint or tile with a vibrant reminder that

the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts.

The Dominican musician Billo Frómeta used this term to

describe a sound experiment, wherein different rhythms and

styles are combined within a single song, without breaking the

beat or making atonal modulations.

Under this creative spirit of mixture and heterogeneity, we

present the first edition of MOSAICO, an audio and dance

ceremony where we will draw a map of Latin American and

Caribbean sounds that will celebrate the cultural and

historical value of one of the most diverse regions on the

planet.

The experience will have a projector showing exclusive

footage from El Marchante’s archive, and a booth where

attendees can find versions of the music on vinyl to take

home and enjoy.
