If you’re ever surprised by the quality of Sebastián Sotomayor’s songwriting, know that he’s been writing music since his 13th birthday. Now 28-years-old, he’s just released his new album, “La Belleza” (“Beauty”), another great effort from one of Chile’s most talented composers and performers.

“Sin mí” (“Without Me”) is the first single from the upcoming album of the singer Camila Moreno, the fourth in her career. This ballad presumably follows the line of the entire LP, which – with its rich arrangements and melancholic colour – leaves behind the rock tones of her previous releaases.

Martín Pescador is a solo project of Ariel Acosta, a singer-songwriter from Santiago de Chile. A few weeks ago he released his second album, “Un Fulgor”.

Over the last decade Chilean cantautor Javier Barría has been releasing a new record about every year.

After releasing their debut album in 2010 followed by an EP a year later, Prehistóricos established themselves at the forefront of new Chilean indie-pop.

Fármacos are outstanding representatives of the so-called “New Chilean Pop”. Their striking debut album, “Los días más largos”, has been applauded for its glossy electro-pop sound both in Chilean media and abroad.

Pop salvaje – or wild pop – is what Protistas’ music is often called due to their cool, emotional sound and intense, trance-like performances. Created in 2008 in Santiago, the band has released two LPs and an EP mixing indie-rock with a subtle noise approach in some compositions.

With his solo project Arranquemos del Invierno, Pablo Álvarez – the singer of Niño Cohete – explores acoustic folk which is more intimate and melancholic than what he does with the band.

Based in the city of Concepción, the five-piece Niño Cohete offer indie-pop with the southern Chilean identity which they themselves call “Pop Silvestre”.

This Chilean band seeks innovative sounds through the use of various instruments, sound effects, and practices usually employed by noise artists.
