Raquel Kurpershoek Jaldón is a 26-year-old Dutch-Spanish singer specialized in Latin American music. Despite her young age, she has already received several prestigious awards. Recently, she was honored with the National Culture Prize of Spain—the country’s highest cultural distinction—and was named Best Female Composer by the Orchestra of Córdoba, with whom she will also perform this year.

Raquel travels the world with her music, often inspired by the poetry of greats such as Mario Benedetti, Octavio Paz, and Amado Nervo. Her music is characterized by an intimate setting that creates a dreamy and sensitive atmosphere, with each performance forging a deep emotional connection with the audience.

Her concert at the 10th Méra World Music Festival is made possible with the support of the Instituto Cervantes.
