The International Latino Cultural Center and ChileAmigo present the award winning Chilean folkloric group Las Comaires in their first U.S. tour and Chicago debut through the financial support of the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage of Chile. This concert received additional support from the Chilean Embassy In the U.S., the Consulate General of Chile in Chicago, The Masters School, Pipkin Productions, and from community partner, the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago.
Originally conceived as a duo in 2009 composed of Ramira Núñez and Gabriela Contreras, this traditional group now performs as a 5-piece featuring harp, guitar, bass and vocals. The ensemble performs Chilean cuecas, tonadas, habaneras y villancicos and offers a rare opportunity to experience Chilean folkloric and traditional music in Chicago.
