Amanda Martinez is a Toronto-based singer/songwriter whose music exultingly blends her unique Mexican and South African roots with flamenco soul. Her solo CDs have garnered her multiple nominations for Latin Jazz Performer of the Year, and her songs have appeared on three Putumayo world music collections: Bossanova Around the World, Latin Dreamland and most recently, Cafe Latino. Her third and latest CD "Mañana" was helmed by GRAMMY-winning producer Javier Limón and is set for release in 2013. Limón, whose production credits include acclaimed singers such as Buika, Mariza and Diego el Cigala, hails Martinez as "one of the greatest voices in the world."
Martinez has headlined at the legendary Blue Note jazz club, at the 2010 FIFA World Cup Festivities in South Africa, and at the 2011 PanAmerican Games in Guadalajara, and is now honorary co-chair of PanAm 2015's Ignite program. She is also the host of Ingredients for a Good Life, a culinary musical road trip through Mexico.
I love this song! It’s one of my favourites on your new album, Amanda! Your dad and uncle were forces of nature with indomitable spirits, and they are such an inspiration! ❤
Dearest Amanda, what a lovely new song you have added to your already great repertoire! I love the melody and it is easy to sing along with. Brava amiga talentosa y querida! ❤Liona
Good afternoon Amanda, we knew each other a few years ago in Havana, when you visited Cuba, w a multicultural delegation. We met at La Zorra y El Cuervo Jazz Club. Glad to watch your Video
The first time I saw/heard you sing was when I watched the Jesse Cook concert in Montreal. You sang La Llorona. Such a treat. Since then I’ve enjoyed your dulcet tones and just love your music. Do you have a connection to San Luis Potosi?? My mother was born there and I was there during the holidays after many years of not going.
Love u 🥰 la verdad conoci este tema en tu voz, y hasta hoy escuche disímiles versiones, y hasta hoy no encuentro una que me haga sentir lo que siento cuando te escucho cantarlo. Gracias....de verdad!!!!😔
