The Candelaria Harbor is a great sound explosion that has crossed borders.
His musical proposal is daring, controversial and innovative that has defined the sound direction of recent times in the Latin American country.
On the other hand, the work of Nicola Cruz has a very clear direction and a concrete origin: The Ecuadorian Andes, the place where its roots are.

Enigmatic music full of experimentations with rare instruments, toys and anything that sounds;
Kanaku and El Tigre manages to portray in a very real and honest way unconventional soundscapes and lyrics that speak of absence, not belonging, the city and everything with an existentialist load very marked in an internal journey of constant exploration.
The stage of the Artillery Park will be inaugurated by Carla Morrison.
They call it the first lady of the Mexican indie.
The most important thing that has happened lately is to take the album 'Amor Supremo', which was presented last year and was nominated for the Grammy as the best alternative Latin album.
Morrison began singing his own songs and collaborating with Julieta Venegas and Natalia Lafourcade, who was the producer of his album 'While you slept', the anthem of 'Let me cry' with the one who won the Grammy in 2012 - best album and best alternative song - and that opened the doors to the international public.
They were the times in which it became a reference of the Mexican scene.
