Música Ficta is one of the most distinguished and respected Latin-American ensembles specialized in the performance of baroque repertoire from the Americas and Spain. The ensemble has performed in the main churches and cathedrals of Latin America -where the most important music archives of the continent are found- as well as in some thirty countries in four continents. Its concerts and recordings have been broadcast through the most important radio stations in the Americas and Europe.

Música Ficta’s recordings have been issued by European and American labels. The vitality and scholarship of their performances have received 5 stars and praise from specialized critics. Their historically informed performances, based upon profound musicological research, make of Música Ficta a reference ensemble of Latin-American and Spanish repertoire. The ensemble frequently records music that has never been recorded, pouring light into valuable, forgotten repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries.
