The Radiant Symphony of Marina Cornejo: A Journey Through Argentine Rhythms

  Intimate Conversation with Marina Cornejo: A Song that Transcends Time

 Marina, in the vast landscape of your musical career, what moments have marked the birth of your art?

 From the first whisper of the wind caressing the strings of my childhood guitar, I knew that music would be my universal language, the echo of my deepest dreams and sincerest emotions. Inspiration, like a gentle breeze, came to me through my grandmother, who, with a humble plastic microphone, planted the seed of art in my young soul. It was in 2015, with a heart full of courage and passion, that I decided to share my voice with the world. This act of giving was the first step on a journey that has transformed each chord into a poem and each melody into a declaration of love for life.

 How would you describe the unique style that characterizes your music and what paths led you to it?

 My music is a vibrant homage to Argentine folk roots, an ode to the land that nurtured me and to the stories told by my great-uncle, Abel Mónico Saravia. In every chord of my compositions, I seek to capture the boundless magic of the Salta plains and the warmth of its people. My melodies are an immersive journey to the heart of my cultural identity, where ancestral traditions meet the fresh breath of innovation. My music thus becomes a bridge between the past and the present, between heritage and modernity, an eternal song that celebrates the richness of our culture.

 Have you explored other musical genres besides folklore?

 Although my heart beats to the rhythm of folklore, I also fall in love with ballads that whisper secrets of love and boleros that weave nostalgia into the fabric of existence. My upcoming project, a streaming recital, marks a new phase in my career where each note will be an invitation to a sensory journey that connects my heart with those who listen. This recital will be a new chapter in my musical exploration, where boundaries dissolve and each melody becomes an open window to the soul.

Looking to the future, what dreams do you cherish for your musical career?

 My greatest dream is to tour Spain, the land where flamenco and passion intertwine in every corner of Andalusia. There, I wish to blend my melodies with the unique vibrations of a culture that has resonated in my heart since my youth. I envision my songs dancing in the air of Spain, as a bridge between our cultures, uniting our stories in a musical embrace that celebrates the beauty of diversity.

Is there an artist you dream of collaborating with in the future?

 Rosana, with her voice that embraces the deepest emotions and seals each word with a touch of magic, would be my ideal partner for creating a piece that transcends borders and touches the souls of millions. I dream of a collaboration that intertwines our voices in a symphony of universal feelings, a song that becomes a hymn of connection and mutual understanding.

I n your daily life, how do moments of calm intertwine with your artistic life?

 My days unfold in a serene dance between the tranquility of caring for my horses, the aromas emanating from the kitchen shared with my mother, and the whispers of the wind as I stroll through the fields that inspire my songs. In my singing and body expression classes, I find the creative refuge where each gesture and each note become the threads that weave the symphony of my existence. This everyday life, with its simplicity and beauty, is the source of inspiration that nourishes my art and shapes my melodies.

 What emotions does the creative process of composing a song evoke in you?

 The creative process is an emotional journey that fills me with profound joy, especially now that I am recording audiovisual material that captures the essence of a zamba that beats with the rhythm of my heart. Each chord is a tribute to the roots that have shaped me and that I continue to explore with every melody. The press and media have been allies in my mission to take my music beyond what I once imagined, allowing me to share my emotions and experiences with a broader audience.

 Could you share a musical piece that is especially meaningful to you?

 "La Engualichad," a chacarera that has been the initial heartbeat of my musical journey since 2015, is a piece of special significance. Through national festivals and events, I have shared my love for folklore with those who find in my songs a reflection of their own roots. This piece represents the beginning of a journey that continues to expand, a song that continues to resonate in the hearts of those who connect with the magic of music.
