The story

Festival de los Vientos in San Pedro de Atacama

Festival de los Vientos is a spring music festival built entirely around wind instruments, staged in San Pedro de Atacama and outlying Atacameno communities on the Salar de Atacama. Financed by Chile's National Music Promotion Fund, it pairs Andean brass and reed traditions with contemporary Latin American genres across concerts, school workshops and community sessions.

Festival de los Vientos builds its programme around a single organizing idea: wind instruments, played across genres, staged in and around San Pedro de Atacama with concerts, school workshops and community activities reaching into Atacameno villages on the edges of the Salar de Atacama.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The single-instrument-family premise is what sets this apart from generic regional arts festivals: every act, from Andean altiplano ensembles to contemporary groups, is built around wind instruments, creating deliberate genre collisions - a recent programme paired an Afro-Colombian folklore act with a local ensemble specifically because both work through wind sections

02

The mystery stays covered

Its funding status as the sole Antofagasta Region project selected for national music-promotion funding in consecutive years also marks it as an unusually institutionally-backed event for the desert north

03

The city starts moving

Extending programming into outlying Atacameno settlements on the Salar de Atacama, rather than concentrating everything in San Pedro's centre, is a further distinguishing choice
