Silvana Estrada is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter from Mexico. Her songs often meld North and Latin American traditions that intersect with the African-influenced son jarocho heritage of her native Veracruz. While living and studying in New York City, she began issuing solo tracks to social media that garnered millions of streams. In 2016, she met, studied, and teamed with guitarist Charlie Hunter, who was teaching a residency in Guadalajara. He produced and played on her self-recorded digital debut album, 2017's Lo Sagrado. Its mercurial sound crisscrossed contemporary jazz, indie pop, ranchera, cumbia, and bolero. Estrada released the universally acclaimed Primeras Canciones EP in 2018. She has performed live in collaboration with Natalia Lafourcade, Mon Laferte, and Snarky Puppy. In 2020, Estrada was the first Latin American artist signed to Glassnote Entertainment. Marchita, her label debut, appeared in January 2022.
