Canto Diáspora (Berlin)

Durchlüften Opening Act

Canto Diáspora

On four summer weekends, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Humboldt Forum’s  Schlüterhof  into a free open-air meeting place where musical traditions from across the globe unfold as living cultural archives.  

5 years open. Already 5 years DURCHLÜFTEN. For the sixth time now, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Schlüterhof courtyard of Berlin’s Humboldt Forum into a vibrant open-air stage for global music, cultural dialogue, and shared experience. From 9 July to 1 August 2026, across four summer weekends, the festival presents 24 live acts and 12 DJs from around the world. Each evening features two concerts followed by a DJ set, creating twelve nights of musical discovery, movement, and encounter in the heart of Berlin — once again with free entry for all.  

Canto Diáspora is a Berlin-based women’s vocal ensemble made up primarily of migrant women from Latin America who are united by the desire to sing their memories, share their roots, and build community through music. Founded in 2022 and directed by Colombian singer Carolina Riaño, the choir brings together voices shaped by migration, cultural heritage, and lived experience. Through collective singing and inspired by the oral and musical traditions of Latin America, the ensemble creates a powerful tapestry of sound that reflects resilience, joy, and the richness of diasporic identity.

More than a choir, Canto Diáspora is a space for connection, expression, and sisterhood. It offers a supportive environment where women can share stories, emotions, and experiences while strengthening bonds across cultures and backgrounds. Through music, the group cultivates collective care and empowerment, transforming singing into a source of strength, healing, and celebration.
