METALENGUA is an energetic sibling duo. They combine modern poetic lyrics with urban music and a folk-pop fusion, creating a fresh, playful, and versatile offering. They range from popular melodies to dramatic sounds, always accompanied by meandering and witty lyrics. Their performance is authentic, eccentric and captivating, connecting with the audience through the charisma of their members and participatory dynamics. The audience becomes part of the experience, creating sublime, intimate, and beautiful moments.
Winners of the Silver Seagull at the 2025 Viña del Mar Festival, they have also performed at major venues such as Womad Chile, Movistar Arena, and Fondas Parque O’Higgins, and have supported renowned artists such as Miranda, both in Chile and Argentina. This year, they are preparing their first international tour in Europe with confirmed concerts in Spain, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
PEHUENCHE is the musical project of Mexican singer Rafael Mesa, whose work explores a personal journey of healing – a liberating process that evokes nostalgia and melancholy, ultimately serving as both a reflection of his humanity and a mirror for his listeners.
His live performance immerses the audience in a mysterious energy, transporting them to an intimate and delicate space. His shows unfold like a ritual of catharsis, provoking an internal dialogue that moves through fantasies, fears and joys, offering a luminous and awakening experience for those who listen.
With over a decade in the music industry, he has performed at national and international festivals including SXSW, Latin American Music Conference, Tecate Comuna, Machaca and Bahidorá, among others. He has released several singles, an EP, and his debut album “Vida Ventura”, published by Nacional Records. He is currently working on his second studio album, set to be released this year.
