DESCRIPTION:Osvaldo Torres and Silvia Balducci in Concert\nThursday, November 3, 2016. 
 7:30pm. \n\nNueva Canción Gala. Chilean singer, composer and painter 
 Osvaldo Torres returns to La Peña with Italian singer Silvia Balducci to 
 present their latest musical collaboration. \n\nInspired by the ancient 
 and profound thought of the Aymara culture, Torres, together with Italian 
 artist Silvia Balducci will perform a concert of original songs that traces 
 the history of Latin America. The duo will present the most emblematic 
 songs from their recording "MiMundoMinimoProfundo" My Minimum-Depth World, 
 recorded in 2014 by the French label Aristote Productions. Balducci will 
 also present her original interpretations of the most symbolic songs from 
 the New Chilean Song. Their poetry, songs and original interpretations, 
 invite the listener to delve into the intricate world of the self, be it 
 urban or rural.\n\nThe founder of the popular Chilean musical ensemble 
 Illapu, Torres is one of the most prolific artists to emerge from Chile 
 during the early 70s. One of his most celebrated works, created in the heat 
 of the repressive military dictatorship, was La Vigilia, a 
 musical suite defiantly demanding the whereabouts of missing political 
 prisoners. The work, which was performed almost clandestinely throughout 
 Chile, was commissioned by the Association of Relatives of the Disappeared 
 in 1977. Due to his work against the military apagón cultural "cultural 
 blackout," Torres was imprisoned, harassed and blacklisted from commercial 
 venues.\n\nMusician, composer and activist Silvia Balducci was born and 
 bred in Italy. Her most pivotal influence in her musical career was 
 witnessing the Chilean group Inti-Illimani perform in Rome on September 
 11, 1973. That same night, the well known Chilean coup 'd'etat, led by 
 Pinochet and supported by the US, took place. Inspired by this formative 
 experience, Balducci formed Chiloe, a music group of Italian teenagers who 
 are still playing today. With her musical arrangements and her own 
 compositions, Balducci injects her own Italian musical flavors, creating 
 a fresh and innovative sound. ##\n
