KUTX Presents: Silvana Estrada Live in Studio 1A 3.31.22
Born to a family of musicians and luthiers, Estrada discovered the four-stringed cuatro in her parents’ music studio and instantly fell in love with its sweet sound. The cuatro is a staple of a type of Venezuelan music called “joropo,” but she’s found new and brilliant uses for it in her own music. She studied at a jazz conservatory and learned the standards, but the songs that remind her of her home in Coatepec kept finding their way back to her. Estrada has been compared to everybody from Natalia Lafourcade to Chavela Vargas, and while she undoubtedly matches their passion and intensity, she also brings her own unique sound to the table. Her strong voice and the regal instrument sitting on her lap create a formidable duo, and she’s carving a name for herself in the Mexican canon.
Estrada’s debut album, Marchita, was released on January 22, 2022 to widespread acclaim. We definitely recommend you go listen to it, but before you do, enjoy Silvana Estrada’s Studio 1A performance where she teases a few songs from the album.
