Lente colectivo

What made this encounter particularly special was the collaborative spirit that permeated the evening. El David Aguilar not only showcased his own artistry but also fostered a beautiful exchange with Paraguayan artists. The participation of the popular duo Purahéi Soul, comprising Jenni Hicks and Miguel Narváez, added a distinct local flavor to the performance. Together, they presented a rendition of Purahéi Soul's guarania "Aju nderendápe- Serenata," a moment that beautifully bridged musical traditions. The inclusion of Argentine artist Luli Maidana for a duet on "Soledad y el mar" further enriched the cross-cultural dialogue.
