They have performed worldwide from Spain to New York, and from Mexico City to San Diego. Their new tour, "Puerto Rico Aflamencao," is dedicated to the pain and suffering of Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and María. The group will perform various well-known Puerto Rican songs set to flamenco rhythms. Part of the Extended Play series: World Music Wednesday - Extended Play is a series of free concerts curated by the Old Town School of Folk Music and funded by the Chicago Community Trust.
