Las Guaracheras (Colombia)
Hailing from Cali, Colombia, Las Guaracheras is a vibrant all-women salsa sextet that brings the Afro-Caribbean rhythms of Colombia’s pacific coast to life. Their bold compositions and powerful lyrics champion the visibility and voices of women in the Latin Music scene in Colombia, celebrating female strength as a source of love, hope, resilience and creativity.
With vibraphone, percussion, bass, piano and vocals, Las Guaracheras presents an explosive show that provokes dancing and singing while simultaneously creating moments for reflection. The group comes to PS21 before heading to Lincoln Center later this summer.
Come early for a 6 PM salsa dance workshop to get you—and your feet—ready for the rhythm and energy of the show.
Please note: there is limited seating for this performance, to create optimal space for dancing. Please contact us if you’d like us to reserve a seat for you.
