Rumba & Flamenco Sensation Group MARUJA LIMÓN, Kicks Off North America Summer Tour
Known for their vibrant fusion of rumba, dembow, flamenco, pop, and Latin rhythms, Barcelona-based group Maruja Limón announced their North American summer tour, which will visit various cities in the U.S. and Canada. The tour will kick off today (July 8) at the Summer Nights at the Gudelsky Gazebo at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD, and wrap up at the Calgary Folk Music Festival in Calgary, Alberta, on July 24 to 26.
Maruja Limón—formed in 2014 by Sheila Quero (vocals), Mila González (trumpet), Vicky Blum (guitar), Esther González (vocals), Eli Fabregas (percussion/druns), and Carla González (bass)—is recognized by their lively music, which ranges from flamenco to pop and Latin rhythms. Their most popular songs include “Esta noche no me acuesto,” “Míralas,” and “Carmen,” which showcase their diverse sonic range. To date, they’ve performed at various festivals, including LAMC and globalFEST (USA), Trans Musicales (France), Eurosonic (Netherlands), Sziget Festival (Hungary), Maré de Agosto (Portugal), and Cruïlla (Spain). Now, they’re taking their vibrant music to more stages in North America.
Maruja Limón brings an indispensable perspective to world music: that of rewriting historically traditional genres like Catalan rumba and flamenco from a powerful female collectivity. Their presence on global stages is not only an exercise in artistic quality, but a living testament to how avant-garde, deep roots, and female leadership transform cultural heritage into a universal language.
This summer, the band will go on their North American tour, stopping in major U.S. cities like Aspen, Colorado, San Diego, California, Beverly Hills, California, Santa Cruz, California, and more before heading to Canada. Tour and ticket information below.
