When world music meets Slam Poetry
Only 5 years ago, the trio Las Lloronas were working on their first album, Soaked. Since then, the group has released a second album, Out of the Blue, and played hundreds of concerts in Europe and beyond. The group even won the award for ‘Best Live Performance’ at the Belgian Worldwide Music Awards 2024. With Sura Solomon having decided to take time out to develop other projects, the trio has evolved into a duo. Marieke Werner and Amber in ‘t Veld are already working on new songs, carrying on with the typical ingredients of Las lloronas: beautiful polyphonic voices, influences from many musical traditions and poetic, powerful multilingual lyrics.
Las Lloronas are searching for depth in simplicity, vibrancy in emptiness, beauty in rawness and playfulness in detail. They continue to explore what it means to be human in a so-much-more-than-human world, and what it means to be ‘Lloronas’ in times of unseizable crisis & grief.
To communicate through poetry and sounds how humbling and mind-blowing it is to be alive. Through emotion music can offer a sense of consolation, connection and beauty. This is the underlying driving force of their musical research at the moment.
Line-up:
Amber in ‘t Veld – vocals, guitar
Marieke Werner – clarinet, vocals
