In February I was once again part of Tamboreras, the project that we created with my colleague Vivi Pozzebon 12 years ago in Cordoba, Argentina.
Six days of workshops of human and musical quality given by:
Luna Monti with collective songs, Viviana Pozzebon and Liliana Zavala on Cuban percussion and sharing their experiences in music, Guada Sosa on sign percussion and Anahi Rayen Mariluan with Mapuche singing.
In addition, two shows were offered the last two nights with local artists and the workshop artists themselves.
Organized by Office of Artists (Viviana Pozzebon, Karol Zingalli and Betiana Vasallo)
The participation of Liliana Zavala is possible with the support of The Swedish ArtsCouncil.
The organization SOM (Swedish Independent Producers) have nominated me as artist of the year in the Rhythm category with my own label
Libelula Music!!
What an honor and how happy I am!
Thanks for the attention!
They say:
SOM (Swedish Independent Music Producers) now presents the list of the nominees for
Manifest Gala 2023. Manifest is the music award that recognizes and rewards artists and
recordings released by independent record companies, and is the year's big event in indie music Sweden.
The jury groups of almost 150 people have together listened through and judged a total of 480
album productions and 232 music videos - proof as good as anything that the independent scene is alive and well thrive to the highest degree!
The members of the jury consist of journalists, organizers and other people who at
different ways are active in the music industry.
On January 31, 2003, the very first edition of the Manifest Gala took place at Kulturhuset in Stockholm.
2023 The Manifest Gala celebrates its 20th anniversary.
February 23rd is the date and place this time, for the first time in the history of the Manifest Gala is Pustervik in Gothenburg.
SOM's board through chairman Eva Karman Reinhold:
"After two years of digital galas and restrictions, it feels fantastic to finally get to gather Sweden's
independent companies and their artists live again. The number of notified publications is more than ever, and the jury really did an outstanding job.
We are very much looking forward to celebrating Manifestgala's 20th anniversary live
together at Pustervik.”

In connection with the gala, an ambitious seminar program is also presented where SOM's member companies
discusses independent publishing's current situation and future with both domestic and
international guests.
Over the years, the manifesto gala has been a breeding ground for great artistry.
Here artists like Timbuktu, Marit Bergman, José González, The Knife, First Aid Kit, Ghost, Cherrie and Sarah Klang won prizes early in their
careers.
Here, hundreds of Swedish productions from both narrow and broad genres have had an opportunity to are highlighted, entered into a creative and inspired Swedish musical life.
The number of categories has varied over the years, to reflect changes at SOM's member companies and at the music scene in general.
As recently as last year, two new categories were presented: Soul/R&B and Label of the Year.
About the projekt here
For me this projekt meant the opportunity to rethink my roots and the history of the original peoples once again.
As well as the privilege of being able to compose new music. The gratitude is immense,
Thanks Scenkonst Sörmland!

In October 2021 I had the honor of playing with this Xenomania by the musician Ale Möller on a tour of Sweden.
Which had a very good reception from the public. Very grateful to reconnect with the public live after this time of pandemic!
In December 2019 we spent 3 creative days in the Kingside studio on the outskirts of Stockholm and we recorded the beautiful compositions of Ale Möller!
Now the good reviews fall like blessed droplets from the sky!
Here I have the honor of having recorded part of the percussion with my colleague Robin Cochrane and also some voices.
The album is called Xeno Manía, Taste of the unknown and you can buy it at Bengan.se, you can also click on the photo and watch the Swedish TV program where Ale tells us more about him and this album.
Also on March 12 we played with my sisters from Beat Company our first livestreaming on Stallet, click on the photo and there you see it!
