The band "Las Hienas” is formed by eight women from five different countries. Based in Rotterdam, they started the Project in January 2023 to create a countermovement within the music scene, to represent music written by women on stage and face the discrimination against women and LGBTQIA+ people.

Their repertoire serves a wide spectrum from afro cuban music, modern salsa, music from the Andes, traditional rhythms from the Caribbean and influences from Jazz and Flamenco. With their energetic and pulsatile show, filled by lively and groovy tunes, they encourage their whole audience to move their hips.
