Alejandro Soto Lacoste is a Chilean musician, composer, and music educator with a long-standing career in the Latin American and European music scene.
In 2025, he will celebrate two formative phases of his life with the program "30+20": 30 years in Chile, the country of his childhood and youth, and 20 years in Germany, where he has lived and worked since 2005.
The program "30+20" is a musical retrospective that includes works from all the solo albums Soto Lacoste has released in Germany - including Interiores (2008), Presente (2017), Puente de Luz (2020), and El derecho de vivir (2023). At the same time, it looks back on his formative years in Chile, where he was a young musician and part of the band Sur-Gente, performing on stage with artists such as Patricio Manns, Quilapayún, and Nano Stern.
In 2005, he produced the successful and award-winning debut album "Pánico" by Manuel García, which is now considered a milestone in Chilean music. After moving to Germany, he began his solo career and collaborated with artists like Tino Eisbrenner, Aurora Lacasa, Marta Töpferová, Heiner Lürig, and the project Hausboot. He has toured through Spain, Chile, Germany, Czech Republic, Australia, and the UK - performing at events like WOMAD, Rudolstadt, and the Brno Jazz Festival.
The program "30+20" is more than a retrospective: it is a musical bridge between continents, times, and styles - from Chilean Nueva Canción to Latin American fusion, rock, singer-songwriter elements, and jazzy arrangements.
It is personal, political, and poetic - a panorama of 50 years of life between two cultures.
Doors open at 18:00, beverage catering.
Hallo, ich bin Maya.
