Queralt Lahoz at 2022 SXSW Music Festival

Speaker

About this talk

The music of Queralt Lahoz is dotted with Latin and urban influences. Soul, hip hop, trap and dancehall converge naturally and gracefully, framed by spontaneous overtones of copla and bolero, irrepressibly revealing the artist’s flamenco origins. Born in Santa Coloma de Gramanet, a focal point for Andalusian immigration on the outskirts of Barcelona (where much of her family migrated to from Granada), her music has its roots in tradition, drawing on the family tree of the working-class women in her life, and traces a bridge between past, present and future. Through this combination, Queralt Lahoz defies conventionalisms, and conveys the strength and fragility that only a true survivor possesses. With an energetic live show, led by the artist herself but accompanied by a sensational backing band, it is impossible not to be left open-mouthed following one of her performances. She has already captivated both the music press and the mainstream media, who have crowned her as one of the most powerful voices on the scene.
