Magos Herrera

Born in Mexico City, accomplished singer-songwriter Magos Herrera is immensely popular throughout Mexico and Latin America. Known for her beautiful voice and rhythmic scatting inflected with soulful phrasings, Herrera has a unique vocal signature that elegantly blends her classic jazz styling with Latin-American melodies. Fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English, her repertoire is filled with the romance, intimacy, and enchantment of Mexican and Cuban sons and boleros, and sultry, languid Brazilian beats.
