Praised by NPR’s Bob Boilen as a “powerful voice whose tender performance commands attention and fosters connection,” Alisa Amador made history in 2022 with the first-ever Spanish language song to win the prestigious Tiny Desk Contest. Now, two years later, the bilingual singer/songwriter is formally introducing herself with her stunning full-length debut, Multitudes. The album is a bold, captivating self-portrait, one that serves not only as a testament to how far Amador has come (she’s earned dates with everyone from Hozier and Brandi Carlile to Lake Street Dive and Maggie Rogers) but also as a celebration of where she comes from (her roots span Puerto Rico, New Mexico, Argentina, and New England). Slipping effortlessly between Spanish and English, the collection is raw and vulnerable, at once steeped in devastating loss and uncertainty, but also laced with the hope and resilience of a young woman learning to find her voice and stand her ground.
Ohhhh I didn't know you were a visual artist too! Love love! (Also, I don't think we've met but I am a dance friend of Rob Flax! And I have enjoyed dancing to your music <3 )
A dear & beloved longtime friend sent me a link to this beautifully poignant song of yours, "Together" some years ago before she left this planet. I hold this song in my heart & thank you for writing & sharing it.
They've "been tricked"... 😅 What..., that you grew up in a wonderfully musical family.. and that you are just being yourself..!? 🤔 What a gift it is to grow up with the parents you (still are fortunate enough to) have.. and, Thank you for sharing YOUR gifts with us all.. 🎶 😊❣️ 👍
