Global Spring: Loica – Geographies of Hope
Chilean songwriter Loica’s own compositions
Step into Geographies of Hope, a concert where Chilean songwriter Loica invites you to embark on a journey of sonic restoration for our wounded planet. With a voice that dives deep into the soul, Loica crafts an immersive experience, guiding listeners through landscapes both inner and outer—mountains, oceans, and the delicate terrain of our own emotions. All compositions will unfold for the first time, accompanied by an ensemble of world-class musicians based in Finland.
As you enter this soundscape, you’ll hear the melancholic and tender notes of South American songwriting traditions, woven into playful explorations of indie, funk, and R&B. Picture yourself wandering through a lush garden, lulled by melodies under a magnolia tree, feeling the burning grief of asters and goldenrods, the fierce shout of a forest fire, and the silent cracks of desertification.
