Las Migas from Spain have mesmerised folk music lovers of Dhaka with their soulful blend of Flamenco and Mediterranean style music.

They performed on the final day of Dhaka International Folk Fest in the capital’s Army Stadium on Saturday, reports UNB.

Response from audience proved that their hour-long performance will prevail in the heart of festival-goers for a long time.

The Mediterranean music was able to vibrate the metro listeners and connect city audiences.

The sound from the soft voice of Bego Salazar, the singer of the band with rhythm touched the heart of the folk lovers who gathered to listen to the folk music in the stadium.

The stage was the main attraction for the audience during their pleasant performance as the less known rhythmic sound was forcing them to stay with the stage.

Vocalist Bego Salazar expressed her happiness to be a part of this festival during her short speech and excited to share their song with the Bangladeshi audience.

“Really we are very happy to be part of this. It is big festival for folk singers. We hope you will enjoy our emotion, songs and do not hesitate to dance with beat of our songs,” she added.

Las Migas was formed in 2004 in Barcelona, Spain. The band-mates come with the breeze of the Mediterranean Sea and bring their soul and heart into their music.

Some claim their songs to be Mediterranean or soulful song but labelling their song to a particular genre would be difficult. They play rhythmic songs.

At present Las Migas have Bego Salazar as the vocalist, Marta Robles and Alicia Grillo on guitar, and Roser Loscos on violin.

These four band members have different perspectives towards music and the incorporation their thought to a single thread makes the band unique.

Las Migas perform Flamenco music, giving this beautiful genre a new definition.

The band was nominated for the 18th Latin Grammy Award in the category of ‘Best Flamenco music’ in 2017 for their album ‘Vente Conmigo’.
