LAS MIGAS
‘Las Migas, food for the empowerment of flamenco women’.
Fernando Neira, El País
After receiving a Latin Grammy in 2022 in the category of Best Flamenco Music Album, and a MIN Award for Best Flamenco Album for their latest work, `LIBRES ́, Las Migas continue with renewed energy. Unstoppable, they present a new album that arises from an emotional process and the desire to share it immediately.
Las Migas are alive, united, awake; they are tireless workers, original and curious. Without needing to prove anything else, sincere and serene, always eager to celebrate and to continue fighting for a safe space for women in the world of art, a battle in which there is still a long way to go. Although they feel that they have achieved a lot, they recognise that it is not only theirs, but that of all the women artists who fight.
‘We are Rumberas, we are Flamencas, we are Libres, we are Guerreras and we are whatever we want to be’.
Marta Robles, Las Migas
‘We have a dream and that is that the stages of the world will be filled with women’.
Alicia Grillo, Las Migas
For Las Migas, being rumberas is more than a label, it's a way of life. It means being a musician or whatever else you want, but living it, enjoying it and feeling it in every fibre of your being. It means embracing each day with the awareness that life is the present, it is today, whether in moments of sadness or joy, in winter or spring.
Rumba, for them, is a feminine song not only because they are women, but also because they recognise that the world is full of rumberas: women who give their all, who fight, express themselves and deserve their own space.
Rumba is an international genre, without owners, that transcends styles and borders, whether it is Cuban, flamenco or Catalan. For this reason, Las Migas strip themselves of labels in this work to show themselves as they are: pure, authentic, unique. Although they have no physical place to call home, their roots extend to a thousand places.
Their new album, ‘Rumberas’ (2024) is a sweeping, different and spontaneous album, full of feelings and rhythm. It includes songs of diverse styles and emotions, all united by the message of overcoming sadness with effort to achieve joy. For Las Migas, beauty is a form of healing, and rhythm and strength are tools to move forward. After all, as they say, the world without music would be nothing at all.
Las Migas play with the Alhambra 9 p CW E8 and 8 Fc models.
