FirstWorks Summer Beats Concerts: Las Guaracheras
Date June 26, 2025
Time 6:00 pm
Venue Roger Williams Park Bandstand

 

Las Guaracheras is a powerful, all-female Latin Music sextet from Cali, Colombia that performs Afro-Caribbean rhythms, 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.

The electrifying rhythms and explosive performances by these six world-class musical artists have captivated audiences across the Americas and Europe, on stages and at festivals from Bogotá to Barcelona.

Performed on vibraphone, percussion, bass, piano, and vocals, the music of Las Guaracheras communicates joy, memory, and transformation while drawing listeners like a magnet to the dance floor.

In the event of rain or disruptive weather, the event will be moved indoors to the Roger Williams Park Casino, located on the hill above the Bandstand – stay tuned to FirstWorks social media for any announcements.
