Silvana Estrada

The range of emotions Silvana Estrada displays is nothing short of a wonder. The Mexican singer-songwriter can be inviting and tender at one moment and make the hairs stand out on the back of your neck the next. Estrada's lauded debut 'Marchita' is an enchanting rollercoaster ride of emotions, exhuming the sweetest desire and the deepest despair, pierced by her poetic, arresting delivery. A natural performer if there ever was one.

Silvana won the 2022 Latin GRAMMY for "Best New Artist". Her music has been highlighted and featured in The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Kelly Clarkson Show, BBC Radio 6, The Guardian, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, and more.

The recent EP 'Abrazo' is a combination of songs originally recorded during the 'Marchita' album sessions as well as a couple recently recorded tracks. Silvana explains that the song "Brindo" was born out of joy and gratitude. She says, "I needed a song that encompasses the feeling that floods me every time I think about my path and my work. The idea of creating human connections through music."

Silvana's childhood home was the setting for her NPR "Tiny Desk (Home) Concert." She grew up in a house where not only music, but instruments, were made. Both of Silvana's parents are luthiers, and a path was worn to their home in Coatepec, a mountain town in Veracruz, by the musicians who arrived daily to commission a new violin or cello, or have their instruments repaired.

Silvana has performed and recorded with artists including Natalia Lafourcade, who like Silvana, grew up outside Veracruz as well as Andrew Bird, Helado Negro, Devendra Banhart, Jorge Drexler, the LA Philharmonic among others.
