Claudia Vera, music teacher in the Universidad Metropolitana de Ciencias de la Educación en Chile, has an extensive experience in the field of classical and folkloric music. She worked as a teacher, choir director and chorister in classical music groups such as the Madrigalistas of the Universidad Metropolitana de Ciencias de Educación en Chile, the Symphonic Choir of the University of Chile, and has been part of the folkloric ballet of the University of Santiago de Chile.
Marco Pinto, audio profesional in the University of Chile, has been part of several musical groups in Chile: the choirs of the University of Chile and the University of Santiago de Chile, the folkloric ballet and the Estudiantina Mayor of the University of Santiago de Chile, and the Estudiantina Filarmónica Cal y Canto.
3- Gustavo Saavedra V.
Gustavo Saavedra was born in 1962 in La Paz, Bolivia, and has been profoundly influenced by traditional South American music since his childhood. The political context experienced in Latin America in the 1970s made its print on the popular artistic expressions demanding social justice, the end of the exclusion of large majorities and equality. It is then that Gustavo learned to sing a music that is an account of life, sadness, joy, hope and of the deepest feelings of the peoples of this profound America.
