​Son Monarcas

Son Monarcas is a Latin Folk Fusion band fronted by dynamic duo Mercedes Inez and Irekani Ferreyra. Just like the Monarch Butterfly that inspires their name, they take listeners on a soulful sonic journey from the heart of the U.S. to the roots of Latin America—where indie soul meets traditional son and cumbia.

Blending old-school folk with fresh, genre-bending vibes, Son Monarcas brings a bold, borderless sound to the stage. Their music is rich with the rhythms and stories of Afro-Mestizo traditions, reimagined through original compositions that groove with global influence and local soul. Equal parts musicians and cultural educators, the band celebrates heritage while pushing the sound forward—inviting you to dance, reflect, and connect.
