Write for Bahué!

Bahué and Castle of our Skins are pleased to announce the following sister projects: Black Composer Miniature Challenge (BCMC) and Latinx Composer Miniature Challenge (LCMC)! We’re excited to share platforms, create greater visibility of the global majority, and build even stronger networks of diverse creatives. 

For the Bahué #LCMC 2.0, composers who identify as Latin American or part of the Latin Diaspora are challenged to compose pieces for vocalist Aliana de la Guardia and percussionist Ariel Campos! Each piece must be 30 seconds or less. We strongly recommend pieces to be inspired by themes of Latinidad!
