A polyglot, Magos Herrera has got the whole worldly thing going on, especially when it comes to mixing up sounds from Brazil, Mexico and Cuba. In case you haven't read the bottom part already, she's a popular gal and with that being said, join the club.
"Mexican chanteuse Magos Herrera elegantly blends classic jazz styling with Latin American melodies and rhythms. Fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English, her repertoire is filled with languid Brazilian beats and the romance of Mexiba.can and Cuban sones and boleros. Herrera is popular in Mexico and throughout Latin America, and has performed internationally at festivals and concert halls, including Lincoln Center, The Knitting Factory, and The Jazz Standard (all in New York), Millenium Park (Chicago), de la Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City) and Sala Galileo Galilei (Madrid). Herrera’s newest CD ”Distancia” (Sunnyside Records) was released in spring 2009, and it shortly became the number one jazz CD on itunes.
For her performance at Joe’s Pub, Herrera is joined by special guest Tim Ries (saxophone), Aaron Goldberg (piano); Ricky Rodriguez (bass); Alex Kautz (drums); Ingrid Beaujean (vocals); and Jenny Beaujean (vocals)." - Celebrate Mexico Now 2009
