In Spanish, the Atlantic Ocean is familiarly known as ‘El charco’ (the pond): an effective testimony of the long-lasting relationship between Europe and Latin America, which developed through the routes of commerce and migration and led also to significant contaminations in terms of culture and performing-arts production.
A musical conference, with prof. Matteo Paoletti (speaker), Amalia Avilán (soprano), Salvatore Sclafani (piano), retraces the routes of musicians and impresarios by the turn of the Twentieth century, leading to the fascinating discovery of the reception and hybridization of European music and theatre in Latin America.
Event organised in the framework of EULAT 4 Culture Belgium, a cultural festival with the aim of strengthening EU- Latin American relations and shared values through cooperative culture and creativity. The Festival was created by EUNIC Brussels as a response to the open call from EULAT 4 Culture, an innovative cultural diplomacy initiative by Ibero-American Cultural Network RIDCULT of the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), the European External Action Service and the Spanish Presidency of EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture).
EULAT 4 Culture Belgium presents a wide range of contemporary cultural and artistic activities across disciplines, from 1 to 14 June 2022.
