Amalva

Music is an eternal traveler. It goes from one place to another and, in its journey, it is nourished by sounds and mores; it grows and branches out. Amalva knows this. She knows music is a living being that, like her, travels and nourishes itself with new sounds.


Based in Germany, Amalva has consolidated a musical career through discipline and dedication. For her, music is her life companion. That is why, in her career, this singer-songwriter from Bogota already has three albums: Regalo del Sur (2003), A place for my heart (2007), and Tristeza rumbera (2021).

Her music is a journey as her life has been. She lived in San Diego, California, for four years where she began her musical career. Then she arrived in West Germany, shortly before the fall of the Wall.

The world changes, and so does her and her music. The desire to transmit what she feels through her songs to embody her feelings led her to create, among other artists, numerous music groups. PICANTICA was one of the first salsa music groups in Berlin. LLAMARADA, a project in which she was accompanied by Adrian Cabrera from Argentina and other Latin American and European musicians and CALIMA, with musicians from Guatemala, Ecuador, and Peru were some of them.

She also formed different duos, and over the years has sung with Laura Ferrio, Argentine guitarist; Cuban singer-songwriter Ricardo Moreno; Mexican singer Azahrel and Rodolfo Zeas, Nicaraguan guitarist. In recent years she has performed on different stages with musicians Eric Trejo (Mexican guitarist) and Rodrigo Santa Maria (Chilean composer and guitarist). She is currently working with Brazilian musicians Abrão y Jabuti (of great musical trajectory in Germany and Europe), with the great guitarist Manuel Guarneros (Mexican musician, who accompanied great Latin American artists such as Chavela Vargas, Oscar Chavez, and Alfredo Citarrosa), and with the outstanding Berlin Jazz saxophonist Regis Molina Through his passionate commitment to music, he has received many national and international awards (Berlin Blues and Jazz Awards winner 2007, Latin Grammy 2007, among others) and has shared the stage and studio worldwide with renowned musicians and bands.
