Antonio Monasterio Ensamble 🇨🇱

Antonio Monasterio Ensamble is a boundary-pushing Chilean group that blends jazz, chamber music, and global rhythms into a deeply emotional and cinematic sound on flugelhorn, electric guitar, oud, drums, bass, and piano. Led by composer and multi-instrumentalist Antonio Monasterio, the ensemble creates rich musical narratives that reflect both the intensity of modern life and the introspection of the natural world. Known for their intricate arrangements and dynamic live performances, the group has toured extensively across Chile and internationally, including acclaimed shows in Asia. The band’s first album Centro y Periferia was released in 2018 and resulted in a nomination for Best Jazz and Fusion Artist at Chile’s 2020 Pulsar Awards. Their most recent recording, Las Furias y el Mar (2023), explores themes of identity, memory, and transformation, cementing their place as one of the most innovative projects on Chile’s contemporary music scene.
