La Band Morisca

The LaCroix Music Series

Inspired by their Andalusí heritage and by the folkloric canon of ballads, La Banda Morisca has developed a creative and unique vision of a repertoire that combines the traditions of the Eastern and Western Mediterranean with the spirit of flamenco and Andalusian rock.

Comprised of musicians from Cadiz, Spain, with different professional backgrounds, La Banda Morisca’s music is a convergence of roots and traditional music and the desire to experiment and evoke the cultural heritage of ancient al-Andalus and the legacy it has left on the music performed in Andalusia, the Maghreb, and the Middle East. The band has performed at some of the most important festivals and venues in the world, including SXSW, the New York Flamenco Festival, the Arab World Festival of Montreal, the New England Conservatory in Boston, and The Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
