MAKARINES

FLAMENCO ARTS FESTIVAL PRESENTS
MAKARINES
Rare Santa Barbara Appearance

June 30, 2026

Important Note: This performance is recommended for audience members ages 8 and older. Late seating is limited once the performance begins, so please plan your arrival time accordingly.

Currently touring internationally with Rosalía on her acclaimed LUX Tour, the Makarines are making a rare stop in Santa Barbara during a break from their Los Angeles performances for an intimate, one-night-only concert experience. Performed in Spanish, you will be moved by the signature sound and artistry of the Makarines.

Makarines are a flamenco singing duo formed by brothers José Ibáñez (guitarist/pianist/vocalist) and Maka Ibáñez (cajón/vocalist) from Triana, Spain. Raised in the rich tradition of flamenco, their sound is both deeply rooted and refreshingly modern, with beautifully layered vocals that give their music a celestial quality. Their hallmark fusion style defies categorization while remaining grounded in the tradition of flamenco cante.

The Makarines first came to Santa Barbara in 2013 as cantaores with Jesús Carmona’s company for the U.S. premiere of Cuna Negra y Blanca at the Granada Theatre, attended by more than 1,000 people. In 2022, they were featured in the Flamenco Arts Festival’s virtual series FLAMENCO ON FILM.
