The musical contest, organized by the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes of Mexico and aimed mainly at its student community and the general public.
“The Mayo Gallo Festival is a musical celebration organized by uaA as a gift for students to celebrate student month. It has been made year after year with important national bands, and this is the first time that we will have the participation of a foreign band such as ‘Children of cerro’. With them we devise to do something together to give an internationalization to the contest, which will be transmitted by the web platform of the Matucana 100 Cultural Center,” says Juan Pablo Castañeda, curator of the contest.
On this show, unique in Chile, Cristóbal Gumucio, executive director of the Matucana 100 Cultural Center, states that: “We are very happy with this alliance that we are making with the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, and that will allow us to show the work of bands from Mexico and Chile and internationalize the careers of the artists who will perform there”.
