Originally from B.C., flutist Lara Wong completed her degree in music at McGill University before following her passion to Andalusia, Spain. She earned respect in the flamenco world as first foreigner in 60 years to win the “Filon" first prize for best flamenco instrumentalist at the Festival Cante de las Minas. In 2018 she met Andalusian guitarist Melón Jiménez on stage in Madrid. There was an instant connection that led to this groundbreaking duo who use flamenco as their universal language to traverse vast musical territories.
