Queralt Lahoz

Queralt Lahoz (born 17 November 1991) is a Spanish singer who mixes flamenco tradition and hip-hop music with poetry and a vindictive message.

Early life
Lahoz is the daughter of a migrant family from Guadix, she learned to speak by singing in the ear of her grandmother Maria, who asked her to sing coplas, flamenco and boleros at home, while her mother made her listen to Jimi Hendrix, The Doors and Janis Joplin.

Career
In 2019, Lahoz released her first recording, 1917, a five-song EP dedicated to the women who have been a source of inspiration in her life, giving voice to their stories of courage and overcoming, and which to present at La Nau in Barcelona, at Es Claustre and at Mercat de Música Viva de Vic, "exciting with pain and also with celebration". After her first studio album, Pureza (2021), Lahoz went on a tour of more than eighty shows throughout the Iberian Peninsula that continued the following year by adding international concerts in Europe and the United States. In 2023, she was one of seven winners of the Music Moves Europe Award that honor emerging artists. In the same year she performed at the Gaudí Awards gala with Canción del fuego fatuo, by Manuel de Falla, alongside the Franz Schubert Philharmonia orchestra.
