Accordionist and singer-songwriter Pasucala Ilabaca represents a new generation of Chilean musicians, moving beyond Andean folk stereotypes to forge a more global style. She deftly mixes jazz and rock with traditional South American forms, singing in a voice that is by turns deliciously sweet and fragile, sensuous and languid.

Pascuala is a dynamic performer, who will be making her debut appearance in the Pioneer Valley. We are excited to add her and her ensemble to our Collider Picnic summer series. For these outdoor events, we select international performers whose work is rooted in tradition but also very much of-the-present and will have the audience dancing throughout the show. Community connection is the goal of the Picnic series. The international roster and informal presentation is intended to dissolve attendance barriers by creating a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
