The themes were "Malibran", "Piramid Street", "Prelude", "Bouree" (believe
or not, the magician Bouree from Jethro Tull) executed impeccably  by
Giuseppe Scaravilli, "Nuovo Regno" and finally "Malibran Reprise". They

emphasized the voice of Heather Findlay, the impeccable execution of the
Fender Stratocaster of Bryan Josh, the keyboards of Iain Jennings and the
flute of Angela Goldthorpe, among others.  Soon the live presentations
began, with the Chilean group Jaime Trio. Previously to that the big
scream were elevated, the band began to play an incredible sound
generate in his synthesizers, and the people start to feel the influences of  
Yes with

very deep elaboration, to give to all of us, the power of three impressive musicians, taken by the
magic of Jaime and transmitting all his experience to the rest of the band. People felt surprised
by the quality of this band, became in a quartet with the contribution of an invited guitarist Rodrigo
Bari from Chile too. The more acclaimed sounds were "Sonido Vital" (Vital Sound), "Breve Piesa
Rockera VIII" (Brief Piece of Rock VIII),  "Viajero Astral" (Astral Traveller). A group show us on his
pass by Buenos Aires the quality of the Chilean bands and why the have participated in the Baja

presentation, explaining the origin of its name,  with a elaborated put in scene, with the
conduction of Víctor Casabuono (voice, keyboards, guitar) the magic of Carlos Salituri (flute)

Their more resonant moments were with "China", "Leve" (Slight), "Milagros" (Miracles) and the
very artistic "Ceremonia" (Ceremony) that crowned with candles and colors all the scene. In the

they put on the scene, its caressing compositions sometimes the Pop thing and sometimes
entering the symphonic thing, and by the quality of its musicians, who offered a true spectacle of
international hierarchy.
The second day, Saturday 26th, was initiated with the audio-visual one of Malibran,

moved to the compass, the presence and the unfolding of their voice leader, MaxSanchez, who demonstrated an incredible aptitude in
scene accompanied by unusual dress and a powerful voice, The band combined the symphonic thing with the metalist, with classic
and memorable compositions of its successful CD "Sombras de Invierno" (Shadows of winter), with memorable passages like
"Presagio" (Omen), excellent opening of the show, them "Fragmentos" (Fragments), "Secretos del viento" (Secrets of the Wind)" and
new compositions called "Las Cuatro Paredes" (The Four Walls), that showed to us the international transcendence of the group that

bass of Andres Saavedra.  Subterra contributed Austral Sinfonico with an impeccable and impressive musical and scenic unfolding.
The festival continued with new audio - visual compact of Mostly Autumn. We highlight an special moment when infinity of black globes
flow over the audience in "The Gap is too Wide" this song is a true symphonic hymn (like High Hopes). The public was thankful with
interminable  applause. The show, entered its final section, with an incomparable climate, giving to Atempo (Argentinean band) the
opportunity to close like a king of two unforgettable nights. They began played the best songs of their CD "Abismos del Tiempo"

Dreams) and "Heroe de la Soledad" (Heroe of the Solitude) and a new song called Tan-Go (symphonic tango). This is solid band
where each one of its talented musicians executes its instrument of impeccable way, but all converge harmoniously in the way of the
neosymphonic music. We emphasized the voice of Mariela González, that it began to delineate that beautiful melody of Jail of Dreams,
that soon inserts to all the band Eduardo Aguirre (guitar), Pablo Villanueva (bass), Hiro (keyboards) and Claudio Fazio (drum), Paula
and Sofía Uzal (choirs) in an integral symphonic passage broken in several  opportunities by the applause of the assistants.

Finally the musicians of Subterra and  Atempo played the legendary "Todos Juntos" (All Together) of the Jaivas, where the assistants
saw the brotherhood of the musicians of both sides of the Andes, giving a very closing applause.
