Lara Bello & Susana Raya

Join us for a special evening of music with two of Spain’s most captivating artists. Singer-songwriter Lara Bello, originally from Granada and now based in New York, brings a soulful blend of Flamenco, Arabic melodies, and Mediterranean roots, enriched by African and Latin American rhythms. Amsterdam-based Susana Raya, described as “the Andalusian Eva Cassidy,” is a genre-defying singer, guitarist, and composer known for her intricate guitar work and emotionally rich voice. Lifelong friends, Lara and Susana will share the stage for the very first time, performing original compositions alongside beloved traditional Spanish songs and modern favorites. This intimate concert promises to be a heartfelt journey through culture, memory, and musical connection. “Lara Bello’s voice is a haunting and soothing reminder that the past is always present in the human spirit”
– Ed Morales “Larita is a gifted singer with a beautiful and unusual instrument. Singing her own compositions, it makes a beautiful combination“
– Lila Downs “Susana is an improviser full of fantasy and a sensitive interpreter”
- Tribune de Genéve “If you figure out a way to make it through a three-minute video of Susana Raya’s singing and guitar playing without falling head over heels in love, let me know”
