En Iberoamérica sonora encontrarás autores que proceden de urbes como Buenos Aires, Ciudad de México, Bogotá, Los Ángeles, Santiago, Caracas, Quito, Guadalajara y Medellín y que de unos meses a la fecha se reconocen a través de un diálogo frecuente que, directa o indirectamente, impulsa la difusión del trabajo de músicos como los que aquí se incluyen. No podemos negar que las formas contemporáneas de interacción –los medios sociales, la internet, los llamados teléfonos inteligentes, las revistas digitales– han revolucionado nuestro mundo. Estas páginas que tienes entre tus manos son sólo otra consecuencia de ello y el testimonio fehaciente de que la música asimismo puede trascender fronteras y gustos de la mano de quienes nos dedicamos a su estudio, su difusión y la lúdica amplificación de su magia irrefrenable.
