Formed by musicians with extensive classical training, the CHAO Ensemble was born in Switzerland in 2021, currently formed by Cristian Álvarez, Iván Orlín Ariza, Daniel Guerrero, Sol Molina and Maria-Isabel Rocafort. The group performs compositions from the rich Latin American popular repertoire, with arrangements that blend virtuosity with sensitivity and love for their roots. In this original fusion of Classical and Folklore, Colombian music has a special place in the CHAO’s catalogue, with four Colombian musicians and one Venezuelan.
To the basic instruments – piano, violin, flutes and cello – voices and other instruments are added, depending on the imagination of the arrangement and the passion of the moment. Let yourself be carried away by the colourful and contagious magic of the CHAO Ensemble, and let the journey begin!
