Magos Herrera

www.magosherrera.com for bio.

The Mexican-born Herrera sings in Spanish, English and Portuguese. But really, what she does..transcends language. Blending elements from various traditions, she's stretching the very notion of jazz singing, pushing past the diva pleasantries into a sound that's bold, thrilling and effortlessly global.
NPR All things considered

..Herrera's voice is a genuine jazz instrument. She has great control of her tone, dynamics and attack, and she never uses her control to do anything flashy. She scats in places, but she also sings with ballad sincerity. She invests her singing with emotion and drama, but she also merges her sound directly with the band. She drips with assurance. Magos Herrera is an artist who knows what she wants her music to sound like. And it sounds great.
Popmatters

“Magos manages to create a new style of Latin scat. It is innovative but clearly jazz and when she does her improvisations off the composed melodies it is a mind-blowing experience.
