The Projeto Sondilá, founded by Diego Calasso in 2019 in Lugano, Switzerland, is a cultural initiative dedicated to the study, preservation, and dissemination of popular culture, with an initial focus on the rich cultural diversity of Brazil.

The project quickly expanded its scope to include other cultures, resulting in a fusion environment where original music and contemporary innovations intertwine with ancestral traditions.

Sondilá stands out for its flexibility and for not being tied to a fixed formation or sound. This unique characteristic allows the project to move fluidly between the traditional and the modern, adapting to different contexts and audiences. Formations can vary widely, from a batucada or fanfare in the format of a big band to compositions that mix electronic music with cumbia and other Latin rhythms. This adaptability allows Sondilá to perform in a variety of spaces, from traditional stages to streets and alternative venues, connecting with a diverse audience and providing rich and engaging cultural experiences.

In addition to the performances, the Sondilá Project is known for its openness and respect for the masters of popular culture. Through workshops and concerts, these masters share their knowledge and experiences, promoting a cultural exchange that not only strengthens traditions, but also fosters innovation.
