Raíces

Raíces (meaning “roots” in Spanish) is a musical collaboration born from the meeting of Mariana Flores’ clear soprano and Simon Ghraichy’s passionate piano, blending Latin American nostalgia with French elegance, past memories with present connections.

Since their first encounter in 2016, the Argentine soprano and French-Mexican pianist have merged their cultures through music. Their program explores French melodies by Poulenc, Satie, and Fauré, alongside Spanish and Latin American pieces by Obradors, Piazzolla, Guastavino, and Lecuona.
