A true cosmopolitan, his signature sound – somewhere between passionate emotionality and instantly gripping pop with Latin genre influences – inspires a global audience between Buenos Aires and Berlin, Stockholm and São Paulo. ‘My music is about deep feelings and positive vibes. Even if you don’t necessarily understand the Spanish lyrics, the meaning of the songs is often revealed just by the groove, through the sounds and through the good energy that these tracks convey,’ says Alvaro about his music.
Beyond his musical talent Álvaro speaks seven languages (Spanish, Catalan, English, German, Italian, French and Japanese), has graduated in Industrial Engineering and Design at the ELISAVA in Barcelona.
He also collaborated with Morat, performing in the song “Yo contigo, tú conmigo” for the film Despicable Me 3, (“Gru, mi villano favorito 3”). He also voices Camilo Madrigal in the Italian and German dubbed versions of the 2021 Disney film Encanto.
Paula Cole burst onto the music scene in the 1990s with her unique voice and eclectic style, which blended elements of pop, folk, soul, and R&B. Her debut album, “Harmonia,” released in 1994, catapulted her to fame thanks to hits like “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?” and “I Don’t Want to Wait.”
Her collaboration with Peter Gabriel during the 
“Secret World Tour” of 1993-1994, and then on the song “River” in 1997 took her to an even wider audience and cemented her position as one of the most talented artists of her generation.
Their music, often introspective and with lyrics loaded with meaning, resonated with an audience looking for more than just superficial pop.
Cole went on to release successful albums over the years, such as “This Fire” (1998) and “Courage” (2007), which explored themes such as love, loss, and faith. He also released the albums “Raven” in 2013 and “Ballads” in 2016, both funded through the Kickstarter platform.
Most recently, in March 2024, she released the album “Lo,” where she wrote all the songs as a way to navigate her newfound confidence after life’s indelible blows. Weaving the personal with the universal, she wrestles with questions of identity and intimacy, history, and the collective failure to learn from it, ultimately showing that the album is a window into her own psyche.
A unique and unrepeatable artist, who has left an indelible mark on music and whose talent, versatility and commitment to authenticity make her an inspiring figure for new generations of musicians.

After a first and notorious album, “Mangroves”, the Rovskis sisters return with a new one: “La Proie est reine”. Listening to it one can imagine two sisters, two warriors of poetry, two women on the run from a tribe. In any case, their singing is like a spell and the bow of the violin as if it were a magic wand.
Combining the organic of the
instruments with electric keyboards and loops, these urban Amazons Sonia and Olive have healed their wounds and put all their skill at the service of this new album frustrating the obvious, uniting and crushing their differences to invent a common language.
Between March 21 and 29 of 2023 they will be performing in different stages of Chile within the framework of the “Jour de la Francophonie” organized by the French Institute.
Two twin sisters. Dissimilar. In search of new lands to discover, explore and flourish.
Originating from Germany, this Pop/Rock band was founded by twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz along with Georg Listing and Gustav Schäfer in 2001 and released their first album (Schrei) in 2005 when they were nothing more than teenagers.
They demonstrated their quality in a short time reaching sales of several million records in Germany and extending their influence to Austria, Switzerland and other Eastern European countries. For several years they remained at the top of the charts of their country and such a success led them to re-release several of their albums with songs in English for international audiences.
After several years of albums where they reflected a clear influence of Dark and Emo styles, they began a turn of their musical style towards a more pop and electronic sound, change that continues to this day and in Bill’s words “reflects the growth of the band and fans over the years”.
