Las Poderosas – Colombian Queens

An inspiring evening of Colombian female voices, celebrating music, heritage, and activism. Part of La Linea, the London Latin Music Festival.

Headlining this exciting La Linea double bill is Adriana Lucía, one of Colombia’s most beloved and distinctive voices, celebrated for blending Caribbean rhythms such as cumbia, porro, and vallenato with contemporary pop influences.

Co-headlining is Nidia Góngora, the Pacific coast’s iconic voice and guardian of Afro-Colombian heritage. As lead singer of Canalón de Timbiquí, the Latin GRAMMY–nominated singer brings ancestral marimba traditions to global audiences.

Opening the show is La Muchacha. Her guitar-led folk and protest-rooted songwriting addresses justice, gender, and community, resonating across Latin America.

Together, these artists celebrate Colombia’s cultural richness and social consciousness, reflecting the activist spirit of Beatriz González while shaping the country’s musical landscape.
