Las Migas return to our city after their sold-out Chicago debut at the Instituto Cervantes in March. Las Migas first exploded on the flamenco scene 20 years ago in Barcelona as a singularly unique, all-female and multinational quartet in an extremely male-dominated and insular genre. They have challenged stereotypes and flamenco traditions with astounding success over their long career and have evolved into a powerhouse of Flamenco fusion that has earned them many awards including a Latin Grammy nomination followed by a Latin Grammy award in 2022 for Libres. They will be performing tracks from their latest recording, Rumberas, a tribute to rumba in all its varieties: Catalan, Cuban, flamenco rumba, along with some of their greatest hits. The current line-up, all hailing from different regions of Spain, include vocalist Carolina “La Chispa,” guitarists Marta Robles and Alicia Grillo, violinist Laura Pacios and special guest bassist Oriol Riart Laborda.
