As part of the celebration of Metropolitana’s 30th anniversary, this book was published with the aim of preserving its memory and planning for the future.
The digital version is available here for everyone to enjoy.
At Metropolitana, the days fly by – 30 anniversaries already! This is the dynamic of an eternally young institution, a condition that is largely due to the fact that its schools infect the desire to explore new paths and always do better. This is how the culture and identity of a project in permanent construction has been established. There are no ends or limits when it comes to music.

An immense history has accumulated that threatens to be forgotten, as there seems to be no time to look back. This book sets out to counter this trend. It invites us to take a breath and think about what has happened.
