Overview
Qatar National Library, in collaboration with the Embassy of Colombia in Qatar, welcomes the Colombian composer, pianist, and singer Oriana da Marte for a special Book Chat session exploring the connection between literature and music through Gabriel García Márquez’s renowned novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.
At the heart of the novel is Macondo, a fictional town that has become one of literature’s most iconic settings and a symbol of imagination, memory, and the Latin American experience.
Inspired by her award-winning album Un Viaje a Macondo, Oriana brings the novel’s themes, atmosphere, and magical realism to life through original musical compositions. Combining literary discussion with live musical performance, the session offers audiences a unique opportunity to engage with one of Latin America’s most influential literary works through a new artistic perspective.
