This is a project financed by the Social Media Fund of the Government of Chile and the Regional Council.

This Sunday, July 7, at noon, Radio Universitaria FM, the station of the University of La Serena, will broadcast a new cycle of programs dedicated to women authors and composers from the Coquimbo Region.

This new radio space, financed by the Social Media Fund of the Government of Chile and the Regional Council, aims to make the community aware of the musical and composition work of various authors from our area, such as María Illanes, Franca Miranda, Cecilia Zamorano and María Inés Bravo.

The cycle of 4 programs will be hosted by musician and professor Raúl “Talo” Pinto, who will talk with the composers and record their performances live.

The programs will also be distributed in various educational establishments in La Serena and Coquimbo.

“Women authors and composers of the Coquimbo Region” will be broadcast on Sundays, at noon, through 94.5 FM and its online signal.

First interviewee

The guest at the first program will be María Cecilia Zamorano Rieu, a music teacher and former ULS student, who since she was little and due to the encouragement of her parents and siblings, dedicated herself to the practice of folklore, that is, the roots of our traditional culture. As a high school student, she was the national cueca champion along with her brothers.

At the same time, she began to create texts and music based on the rhythms of our tradition, which she makes known through different folk groups in the country, which she herself has formed such as the CEVICHO duo that she forms with Víctor González and the Marejada group. This past summer she participated as a finalist in several folkloric festivals.
