  • Las Karamba

    Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center 4048 West Armitage Avenue, Chicago, IL, United States

    They are Las Karamba, a musical current of feminine energy that converges to tell stories and experiences to the rhythm of Cuban music, ranging from bolero to son, salsa, rumba, and even rap. A multicultural mix full of color born in Barcelona, formed by Ahyvin Bruno (voice and Güiro), Ahylin Bruno (congas and backing vocals), Liviet Ojeda (bass and backing vocals), Natasha Arizu (keyboard and backing vocals), Rita Baulida (timbales), and María Gil (flute). Six mestizo, migrant women, and musicians who are presenting their new studio work "Te lo digo cantando". An album that aims to tell the sorrows with joy, as the legend Celia Cruz, the group's main reference, already said, whom they have honored with these nine songs. Songs made for those who need positive energy to move forward or simply for those who want to dance to it, listen to it or sing it at the top of their voices.
