How to watch the Ecuadorian Brenda in Viña del Mar: the singer competes this Sunday with 'Capullito'
Ecuadorian singer Brenda is set to compete at the Viña del Mar Festival starting February 22, showcasing her song 'Capullito' in the folkloric category.
The Viña del Mar Festival begins on February 22, and Ecuadorian singer Brenda will represent her country in the folkloric category with her song 'Capullito.' Festival-goers can watch the event streaming on Disney Plus from February 22 to February 27. Brenda's next performance is scheduled for February 24, where she will compete against the Argentine duo Campedrinos and Spanish artist María Peláe. Brenda's song 'Capullito,' which is part of her EP 'En la tierra,' is characterized as a sanjuanito infused with the rhythm of Andean bomba music. Musicians Mario Andrés Gutiérrez and Carlos Jácome Z. will accompany her on stage, providing a rich musical backdrop with traditional instruments. The song is not only a representation of Ecuadorian culture but also incorporates deeply rooted popular lyrics. The music video for 'Capullito,' filmed at the Solar Quitsato Museum in the Equator region, pays tribute to the sacredness of the Quitsato site, a place that embodies ancestral memories and cultural significance. The video connects the melodies of the song with traditional practices, highlighting the importance of ancestral knowledge like that of the chawarmiski, a drink made from the sap of the penco plant, and serves as a reminder of the cultural heritage Brenda aims to celebrate through her music.
