About Son Mujeres:

Son Mujeres is an all-women salsa orchestra from Cali, Colombia, bringing together the city’s deep salsa tradition with a powerful contemporary sound and stage presence. Led entirely by women musicians, the ensemble celebrates Cali’s identity as a world capital of salsa while expanding the genre through original arrangements and distinctive instrumentation.

Their sound combines the driving energy of traditional salsa percussion with trombones, violins, flute, vibraphone, piano, and bass, creating a rich orchestral palette that moves between tradition and innovation. Their repertoire explores the essential rhythms of salsa while paying tribute to the great women who have shaped the genre.

Son Mujeres has been recognized by Billboard as one of ten representative salsa orchestras from Colombia and the only all-women ensemble among those selected in 2023. The orchestra won Cali’s Festival de Orquestas de la Ruta de la Salsa in 2025 and has collaborated onstage with renowned Cuban-American violinist Alfredo de la Fe.

Their recording projects include Homenaje a los Clásicos de la Salsa, produced with support from Colombia’s Ministry of Culture, and Salsa en Cuerpo de Mujer, created through an award from the Yuri Buenaventura Foundation and CREASONIDOS.

With a commanding ensemble sound and a distinctly female artistic identity, Son Mujeres represents a new generation of Cali salsa—rooted in its history, driven by women, and created for the contemporary international stage.
