Two artistic worlds
I
Saxophonist, performer, composer and arranger — on stage, in the studio and at life's great occasions.
Listen, then work with her →
II
Artistic director and curator. She dreams up projects, brings artists together and shapes experiences in which music becomes a meeting place.
Explore her projects →Soprano, alto, tenor and baritone; bass clarinet and flute. As a soloist, at the heart of a band, or building an ensemble from the ground up.
Tenor and alto saxophone with bass clarinet, every line played and recorded by Carolina herself. Three voices, one landscape.
Listen to Paca →Solo saxophone — no voice, no ensemble. A piece in which the instrument is given the whole room to breathe.
Listen to Bloom →A choir of saxophones, born of Carolina's long conversation with the music of the Mantaro Valley.
Listen to Gloria Tunantera →
How she works
Carolina listens for the stories, the strengths and the intentions of the people before her. That attention shapes how she plays, directs and brings people together: entering each project with care, honouring what is already there, and adding her voice without ever drowning out theirs.
Every collaboration begins with listening — to the music, to the people, to the moment waiting to be made.

In concert
Saxophone, voice, songs of her own and stories that draw the audience in. An intimate evening about change, letting go of certainties and beginning again — with a full band or pared back to its essence.
Beyond the stage, Carolina directs, connects artists and creates projects and spaces where music can turn strangers into company.
