‘The sound made famous by Camarón de la Isla and Paco de Lucía has long been absorbed by numerous other genres but the likes of multinational Barcelona band Las Migas are still taking flamenco in new directions while preserving its essential spirit.’—The Guardian
Las Migas, composed of four women from Barcelona known for their musical explorations and captivating performances throughout Europe, the US, and Latin America, create a joyful and bold flamenco sound. Their fascinating blend of flamenco and Mediterranean styles incorporates influences from around the world, including country, pop and urban music, yet holds true to their flamenco and Spanish music roots. Vocalist Carolina “La Chispa,” guitarists Marta Robles and Alicia Grillo, and violinist Laura Pacios will be joined on stage by bassist Oriol Riart Laborda in a program that features their long-standing hits, as well as songs from Libres, which won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Flamenco Album in 2022 and included collaborations with Estrella Morente and Tomatito
