Synopsis

A remembrance of mother songs, lullabies, corridos, pregones, and romances championed by Naike Ponce and supported by the female voices of Teresa Hernández, Laura Marchal, and Pilar Villar with a touch of soul by Martha Ramos and Natalia Duma.

Empowered women of current music, with their own voice, hungry for freedom, with a flamenco heart, and with their eyes set on the future.

Faithful to their own expression, with their own character and great personality, they will spin the oldest songs of flamenco, remembering those cradle songs, those songs that proclaimed essence and that demonstrate that flamenco evolution preserves, thanks to an innovative proposal directed and created by Naike Ponce, nominated for a Latin Grammy, with the accompaniment of Antonio Carmona on percussion.

A deep feminine feeling from the past to the present, with a look to the future. The memory of our ancestors with a fresh aroma, without forgetting the essence, the root, and the why of the origin of flamenco singing.

A mixture that will make us feel the love of women for our culture, their legacy, their indispensable contribution transmitted from generation to generation, with the sweetness, strength, and power of the women who gave birth to us, breastfed us, and fed our souls… they are our culture, they are our history.
