Maruja Limón
Maruja Limón is a six-member band from Barcelona, known for their vibrant fusion of flamenco, pop, and Latin rhythms. Their debut album, Más de ti (2018), was praised by Mondo Sonoro and Muzikalia as one of the best Spanish albums of the year, earning them the Best Emerging Artist award at the 2018 ARC Awards. With their second album, Ante Mí (2019), they received a nomination for Best World Music Album at the 2020 MIN Awards. Maruja Limón has performed at prestigious festivals and events such as LAMC (New York), Trans Musicales (France), Eurosonic (Netherlands), Sziget Festival (Hungary), Maré de Agosto (Portugal), and Cruïlla (Spain).
Te Como la Cara (2024) is the band’s new work. It takes listeners on a journey through the geography of Catalan rumba, flamenco, quinqui, mestizo, and Latin rhythms, blending experimental, electronic, and organic sounds. The band explores rumba with Dembow, electronic music, salsa, and pop. The album is musically explosive and is accompanied by lyrics that oscillate between sensitivity and irony, addressing both personal and social themes.
