Sonido is one of Australia’s longest lived and most renowned exponents of Latin American folkloric music. Playing a repertoire of original songs made in Australia, their multi-instrumentalist line up entrances with the magic of the sounds of Latin America.
Featuring over 40 instruments, their concerts journey through the South American Andes (charangos & panpipes ) to the Caribbean with the infectious rhythms of congas , bass and piano.
It is traditional music of a place on no map, a folklore in search of a country.
