Raíces

Raíces is a vibrant musical collective dedicated to preserving and reimagining the rich traditions of Sephardic Jewish music and Spanish folk heritage. Known for their soulful fusion of flamenco, Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) melodies, and Romani influences, the group breathes new life into centuries-old songs like those featured in *Antología de la Canción Sefardí* and *Cantos Tradicionales Judeo-Españoles*. Their work often feels like a time capsule, blending haunting vocals, percussive rhythms, and string arrangements that pay homage to Spain’s multicultural past while feeling freshly alive.

With releases like *Fiesta Gitana* and *Rumba Flamenca*, Raíces celebrates the fiery energy of flamenco alongside quieter, introspective tracks exploring themes of love and longing (*Donde Esta el Amor*). They’ve become a go-to for listeners craving authentic yet accessible interpretations of folklore, whether through field recordings (*De boca en boca...*) or lively collaborations. While details about the band’s members are scarce, their music speaks loudly—a testament to the enduring power of cultural roots.
