Las Guaracheras is a powerful Latin jazz sextet formed in 2017 in the city of Cali, Colombia. Their repertoire spans Afro-Caribbean rhythms such as Salsa, as well as music from Colombia’s Pacific region. In their compositions, Las Guaracheras place a strong emphasis on gender perspective and on the recognition and empowerment of women’s roles in the music industry - particularly within Colombia’s Latin Music scene. Through their lyrics, they convey a manifesto of female power and resilience.

The ensemble has performed and conducted multi-age, bilingual educational programming at U.S. venues such as: UCSB Arts & Lectures (CA), Lincoln Center Summer for the City (NY), Twin Cities Jazz Festival (MN), etc. In July 2026 they were featured at respected U.S. venues such as: Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Joe´s Pub (NYC), The Ark (MI), etc .
