“You can now declare Magos Herrera to be one of the greatest contemporary interpreters of song.”
— Latin Jazz network
Born in Mexico City and currently based out of New York City, Magos Herrera is a dazzling jazz singer-songwriter, producer, and educator.
Magos is regarded as one of the most expressive, beautiful voices and most active vocalists in the contemporary Latin American jazz scene.
She is best known for her eloquent vocal improvisation and her singular bold style, which embraces elements of contemporary jazz with Latin American melodies and rhythms singing in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, in a style that elegantly blends and surpasses language boundaries.
“Herrera's voice lightens to a wry smile as she sings of ideas entangling like ivy growing up a wall. She gets way under the skin of the song, recalling great communicators like Edith Piaf or Billie Holiday"
-Tom Huizenga [NPR]
