SUMMARY:Las Guaracheras
LOCATION:DROM
DESCRIPTION:The all-female sextet Las Guaracheras was born in 2017 in the c
 ity of Cali\, Colombia. It is an initiative of the percussionists Laura Li
 nares and Mónica Castro\, who as lovers of the son (“sound” in Spanis
 h) and guaracha genres\, decided to form an instrumental group in which th
 ey could express all their intense musical feelings while\, at the same ti
 me\, preserving the essence of guaracha. Guarachas were played and sung in
  musical theatres and working class dance salons during the late 19th and 
 early 20th century. Also\, Laura and Mónica were eager to exalt the memor
 y of the great Cuban guarachera Celia Cruz.\n\nWith improvisation on each 
 instrument as its driving force\, Las Gauracheras evoke the sound of the g
 reat sextets of history\, such as New York’s Joe Cuba and New Swing Sext
 et\, and more recent ones like Cadaver Exquisito from Venezuela\, and Grup
 o Latin Vibe from New York City. The vibraphone has a special place in the
  band\, since the women have long been fascinated by its legacy and wanted
  to incorporate it into an updated version of salsa. Las Guaracheras embod
 y the best and most visionary female orchestras of Caleña and Colombian s
 alsa. Above all\, the cultural and artistic objective of the ensemble is t
 o elevate the female voice in Afro-Latin music and thus build a more inclu
 sive\, diverse and respectful cultural space where we all fit. The group w
 as such a hit at last spring’s online festival\, CULTURAS 360°\, that w
 e just had to bring them to Victoria Park this July.\n\nBoletos: https://d
