Montreal singer Mistysa returns to her birthplace and her Chilean roots in this performance of Gracias a la Vida in concert with the revered group Inti Illimani Historico at Kitchener's Gig Theatre, October 8, 2010.

Inti Illimani gained global fame as expatriates banned from their homeland during the Pinochet years of repression in Chile. Musical heroes in Latin America, the group came to Canada for a mini-tour with just three concerts ... Montreal and Toronto, in addition to a Kitchener show produced by ex-patriate Chilean Isabel Cisterna of Neruda Productions.

Mistysa's parents, who had fled Chile and settled in Canada, lived briefly in Kitchener, where she was born. Now a citizen of the world, Mistysa recently resettled in Montreal. Several weeks prior to this concert, her father suggested an impromptu trip to Kitchener, and that was the first time in memory that Mistysa saw the city where she was born.

Attending the Montreal concert the previous weekend, Mistysa connected with the band, having previously performed with them in London, UK. When she asked where they were playing next, she discovered the Kitchener date, shared her story and the band invited her to join them on stage for a song where she was born. The result: musical magic to treasure.
