RAÍZ – Caisa 30 Club

Voices from around the world meet at Caisa! RAÍZ is a multicultural concert about languages, nature, and belonging.

Part of the CAISA 30th Anniversary Club, RAÍZ is a multicultural concert where voices from around the world meet in songs inspired by nature and belonging.
Co-created by an international team of artists, RAÍZ brings together seven soloists from Aruba, Chile, Finland, Kazakhstan, Tanzania, and other regions, alongside a 12-piece ensemble and a community choir formed through open call. The concert explores the connection between languages and ecology through original arrangements by João Luís — co-producer, composer, arranger, and conductor — developed in dialogue with each soloist’s tradition and song.
RAÍZ celebrates the diversity of human expression while reminding us of our shared roots in the natural world!
