On Saturday 5 March, Sala de Cultura hosts the women of "Elles Sonen" for a concert celebration of mixed heritage

Performers include Marina, from Ojos de Brujo, La Mari from Chambao and Anita Kuruba from Canteca de Macao

The Formentera Offices of Culture and Equality are pleased to report that from 8.30pm next Saturday 5 March, the Sala de Cultura-Cinema will host Elles Sonen. This event is included in the International Women's Day programme and is the third concert on the 2022 calendar for L'Illa a Escena.

Marina from Ojos de Brujo, La Mari from Chambao and Anita Kuruba from Canteca de Macao. These three vocalists represent a generation, they are women with their own voice, they are composers, lyricists and performers. Band leaders for more than a decade, they are part of three well-known groups from the mestizaje ('mixed heritage') music scene and will be backed by musicians Carlos Sarduy, J. "El Cani" Huertas, Isaac Robles and Aaron Puente.

Marina Abad began singing with Ojos de Brujo when the band that would become known for fusing distinct styles formed in Barcelona in 1996. The group aspired for the intersection of flamenco and reggae, hip hop, rock and electronic music. In 2007 they won the Latin Grammy for Best Flamenco Album for Techarí. As a solo artist, Marinah has released four albums; the most recent, Heroínas (2021), speaks to the struggle of women.

María del Mar Rodríguez sang as a member of Chambao until 2005, when she took the reins as the group's leader. She has collaborated with groups and artists like Bebe, Jarabe de Palo, Enrique Morente, Javier Ruibal, Rosario Flores, Fuel Fandango, Ara Malikian, Vanesa Martín and more. At the 2012 Latin Grammy Awards she was nominated for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album.

Anita Saboya was the vocalist of Canteca de Macao for over a decade. Since releasing her first solo effort, Anita Kuruba, in 2019, she has forged ahead with new sounds more reminiscent of R&B, soul and electronica.
