Las Guaracheras is a powerful Latin Music sextet from Cali, Colombia that performs Afro-Caribbean rhythms such as salsa, as well as music from the Pacific region of Colombia. Their compositions and lyrics revolve around the revindication and recognition of the role of women in the music industry - especially in the Latin Music scene in Colombia – and seek to express the power and strength of women as sources of love, hope, resilience and creativity.
Selected to form part of the 2025/26 Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation Performing Arts Exchange (PAGE), Las Guaracheras have been featured at U.S. venues such as: Lotus Festival (IN), Freight & Salvage (CA), etc. and in 2025 will be at LACMA Latin Sounds (CA), Twin Cities Jazz Festival (MN) and others. They have performed in Europe and the Americas at venues such as: Sunfest (Canada), Cubadisco (Cuba), BIME (Spain), Portamérica Latitudes/FIMpro, and El Zócalo (Mexico).
