Lara Wong and Melón Jiménez

In a meeting of innovation and tradition, Vancouver’s Lara Wong and Madrid’s Melón Jiménez bring together unexpected protagonists – the Indian bansuri flute and the flamenco guitar – to reimagine flamenco's evolution from its Indian and African roots.

Through a constant dialogue between cultures, their JUNO-nominated 2024 album Confluencias gives a fresh face to flamenco’s nomadic roots through imaginative compositions and vivid improvisation. 

The ground-breaking duo are a natural fit, creating beautiful, transformative music together. Flowing with an emotive power, their blend of flamenco with the inventive spirit of jazz and rhythmic improvisations of Indian and African music results in a truly mesmerizing fusion.

"Confluencias is a little of everything, I wouldn’t call it an electro-flamenco album as it encompasses both traditional and modernity equally.”  – Lara Wong
