About the show
Las Guaracheras is an all-women salsa sextet born in the city of Cali, Colombia in 2017. The ensemble´s cultural and artistic objective is to uplift a female voice within Afro-Latin music and build a more inclusive, diverse, and respectful cultural space for all. Their music communicates joy, memory, and transformation. With vibraphone, percussion, bass, piano, and vocals, Las Guaracheras presents an explosive show that provokes dancing, singing, and reflection.
Among multiple presentations in the best salsa forums in Colombia, Las Guaracheras have performed on stages and festivals such as Salsa al Parque in Bogotá, Portamérica Latitudes in Guadalajara, Mexico, Las Fiestas del Pitic in Hermosillo, Mexico, Sunfest in Canada, Feria de Cali, Sevijazz, the Colsubsidio Theater in Bogotá, BIME Spain, Madrid, and Barcelona. They closed last year with a presentation to 12,000 people in the Zócalo of Mexico City.
This engagement of Las Guaracheras is made possible, in part, through the Performing Arts Global Exchange program of Mid-Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
This event is made possible through the generous support of the Ocean County College Foundation.
