Santiago, Región Metropolitana, Chile —An eclectic artist, Criverechaz’s newest release, “Chapecao Mestizo” is more than just a song; it’s an auditory journey that transports listeners to the heart of Chile’s scenic landscapes and its storied past. The single draws inspiration from Chapecao, a traditional Chilean folk dance known for its lively steps and cultural significance. This dance serves as a metaphor for the song itself – a fluid synthesis of old-world charm and indigenous spirit, capturing the essence of Chile’s diverse heritage.

These compositions have garnered acclaim for their moving and immersive qualities, with streams in the tens of thousands.
