Location: 234 Third St., Collingwood

Experience the soul-stirring fusion of flamenco, jazz, and Indian rhythms with Melon Jimenez & Lara Wong, a groundbreaking instrumental duo from Spain. Nominated for a 2025 Juno Award (Instrumental Album of the Year), these internationally acclaimed artists bring a mesmerizing blend of tradition and innovation to the stage.

Flutist Lara Wong, the first foreigner to win the prestigious “Filón” award at the Festival Cante de las Minas, seamlessly intertwines the expressive sounds of the bansuri with the fiery spirit of flamenco. Guitarist Melón Jiménez, a sought-after collaborator with legends like Enrique Morente and Anoushka Shankar, explores the rich intersections of flamenco and world music.

Since their fateful first performance in Madrid in 2018, this duo has captivated audiences across Europe, Asia, and North America. Now, they bring their transformative artistry to Collingwood for an unforgettable evening of passion, rhythm, and virtuosity.
