Las Migas marked their Grammys with a memorable concert at the Casa de Cultura in El Campello. The quartet arrived a touch fatigued after days of global celebrations and warm congratulations, yet their energy quickly filled the room. The group, composed of Carolina Fernández on vocals, Marta Robles and Alicia Grillo on guitars, and Laura Pacios on violin, performed on Saturday night at El Campello’s Casa de Cultura. The mayor, Juanjo Berenguer, and the Cultural Councilor, Dorian Gomis, welcomed the ensemble and noted the show leaves a lasting imprint on the town.
The auditorium was packed to capacity for the occasion. It was a triumphant return to the stage following the Latin Grammy win for their album the night before, a win that recognized the work of the performers across a year of touring that spanned much of Spain, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences presents these awards each year to honor artistic and technical excellence in music performed in Spanish, Portuguese, or other Latin-based languages and dialects recognized in the region. The recognition underscores the group’s international reach and artistic impact.
The night felt magical, a tribute to El Campello and its audience. Local officials stated that Las Migas have become an enduring reference in contemporary flamenco fusion, and the performance reinforced their status as a source of pride for the community. The ensemble spoke of freedom and empowerment through their music, reflecting themes of personal choice and joy. They conveyed that the concert was more than a recital; it was a shared moment of happiness and resilience with the audience and with the city itself. The message echoed through the hall as the performers celebrated life, love, and the sea that surrounds the town, all as part of a broader narrative of roots and growth.
Libres, a piece celebrating personal freedom, resonated deeply with listeners. The artists spoke of giving women a voice and strength through song, and their performance moved many, as they sang of women, life, the sea, the moon, and the land of their birth. The message was reinforced by statements from the City Council, highlighting the artists as a beacon for the community and a reminder of the power of music to uplift and unite. The choir of applause that followed the set was loud and heartfelt, a chorus of thanks and admiration for a night that spoke to dreams, reality, and hope.
Congratulations
The award itself sparked continuous applause from the audience, whose cheers filled the venue. In response, the band offered a concert that invited attendees to join in singing along with a chorus about dreams and possibilities. The performance carried a sense of positivity that infected the room as the players encouraged audience participation with claps and singing together, creating a shared experience that extended beyond the music alone.
Top-tier instrumentalists joined Las Migas to enchant the crowd with a refined arrangement of Isaac Albéniz on a double guitar. As the evening reached its peak, a captivating a cappella finale honored the hundreds of villagers who lingered, begging for an encore before leaving the Platz. The final moments left the audience buoyant and reflective, a testament to the power of live performance to unify a community in celebration.
