"Jorge González - Esencial", a tribute to the vocalist of "Los Prisioneros"Part of the festival will be a tribute to one of the most important voices in Chilean musical history: Jorge González. A special and unprecedented show will be offered by colleagues and friends of the renowned singer-songwriter, prepared exclusively for the festival, which will honor one of the most important musicians of the last decades.

Chilean Wey as a professional market and arts development.
The festival will have a professional market with guests from Mexico, Colombia and Chile, which will take place days before the main shows. The idea is that Chilean Wey becomes a professional space for the regional, national and international linking of the diverse actors of the industry, and that it is a space to showcase the diversity of Chilean music to national and international buyers. Chilean Wey since its first version in Mexico has begun to generate spaces for the encounter with the visual arts, literature, and other branches that will enrich the cultural exchange.
"Chilean Wey was a total success in its Mexican version, we have managed to carry out this first Chilean music festival in Mexico in a massive way, delivering an experience that has left the public, the artists and the technical team very happy, who demonstrated that it is possible to work bilaterally and as a team, and that it is possible to create a new platform for the internationalization of Chilean music," says Claudia Pereira, director of the festival.
