Las Guaracheras is an all-women salsa sextet born in the city of Cali, Colombia in 2017. The ensemble’s cultural and artistic objective is to uplift female voices within Afro-Latin music and build a more inclusive, diverse, and respectful cultural space for all. Their music communicates joy, memory, and transformation. With vibraphone, percussion, bass, piano, and vocals, Las Guaracheras present an explosive show that provokes dancing and singing as well as reflection.
Genre: Salsa & Latin Jazz
