Details

Teeming with emotion, flair and fervour, Spain's most celebrated folk music, Flamenco, is rightly recognised as an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity' by UNESCO.

The Latin Grammy-nominated all-women Spanish quartet, Las Migas, known worldwide for their sensuous music routines is set to perform at the Royal Opera House, Mumbai. This modern ensemble comprising Dancer and Vocalist, Carolina "La Chispa", Guitarists Marta Robles and Alicia Grillo and Violinist Roser Loscos along with Oriol Riart Laborda on the double bass will perform Flamenco pieces with a pop and urban music twist.

The show will include a guest performance by Kathak & Lavani Exponent, Aditi Bhagwat.

Come experience this creative mélange of Andalusian cultural heritage, hailing from the south of Spain, that beautifully blends Cante (vocals), Toque (guitar), Baile (dance) and Jaleo (hand-clapping and foot-tapping) along with India’s dance forms Kathak and Lavani creating a unique cultural blend.

After a very intense World Tour throughout Europe, the United States and Latin America, Las Migas are back stronger than ever to broadcast their new album "LIBRES". It is their most luminous, joyful and daring work. Produced by Marta Robles, who is making her debut in this new assignment; it shows the most heartbreaking side of love and life, a tribute to women’s strength, nature and freedom. Songs with nods to new styles such as country, American pop and urban music, always based on the Flamenco and Spanish music that have always characterized Las Migas and conferred their unmistakable uniqueness. Their awesome renewed voices and fresh sounds, accompanied by the seductive Flamenco-dance of Carolinala "Chispa", do nothing but to invite us to join them in their amazing Fiesta!
