OUR STORY
Since its first edition in 2013, this festival has become a gathering point for souls seeking to reconnect with the Earth, with music as medicine, and with a community that honors life, art, and consciousness. Founded by Venezuelan artists Jesús Hidalgo and Teresa de Jesús, Todo el Mundo Dice Aho has traveled across Latin America, planting circles of healing in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and the United States.
Throughout the years, it has evolved into a sacred space where singer-songwriters, dancers, healers, ancestral elders, and awakened beings come together with a shared intention: to sing for Mother Earth, honor our roots, and raise the collective vibration.
Now, after twelve editions, the call is still alive.
The heart of Aho beats strong, reminding us that we are not alone — that we are tribe — and that together,
Todo el Mundo Dice… Aho.
