“Leave footprints not scars” Alejandro Vargas is one of the most talented and accomplished musicians in the #LatinAmerican/Australian #music scene. He was recognised with “Merito en el exterior” (overseas merits) by the #Chilean #Government in 2010, for his work on “#Melbourne helps #Chile #Committee” after the 2010 #earthquake. As his family migrated when he was only a little boy he had to adjust to many things including the language, lack of #awareness regarding #Chilean music and making new friends. He advises others to follow your calling, #beloyal and #beyourself. #latinstoriesaustralia #buildingbridges #chile #australianchilean #musica #inspiring #contribution #maestro @melbfringe meets LatinAmerica this weekend!!
