πŸŽ₯ Here is the Trailer for Our Upcoming Episode feat. Walter Aparicio πŸ‡§πŸ‡΄

Get ready for a captivating new episode of The Piano Pod featuring none other than Walter Aparicio! I had an incredible time recording this upcoming TPP episode with Walter – a talented Pianist, Educator, and Founder/President of the Foundation for Bolivian Artists (https://bolivianartistfoundation.org/). Our connection dates back to our NYU graduate school days in 2007, and delving into Walter’s journey and future plans was both meaningful and emotional.

Walter holds a prominent role in contemporary music, advocating strongly for inclusivity in our industry. Ahead of his time, he has been a passionate supporter of diversity in music, particularly focusing on Latin American music and composers since the late 2000s, well before the recent emphasis on diversity in 2020.

What makes Walter stand out is his expertise in the music of Bolivia πŸ‡§πŸ‡΄. Exploring the beauty of Bolivia through Walter’s insights – its unique geography, profound historical background, cultural richness, and legacy of arts and music – was truly enlightening. I’ve gained a profound appreciation for Bolivia!
