About This Event
The Alluvion World Music Series continues with another captivating international artist that we are honored and proud to bring to our stage: Lucía will perform with her trio to close out our second season of this series as a part of a tour across Europe and the Americas that will present her unique approach to her song book to the world. The combination of traditional American jazz with the warmth of Latin folk remains at the core of her identity – both as a person, and a vocalist.
Born in Veracruz, Lucía Gutiérrez Rebolloso began performing at age two, together with her parents Laura Rebolloso and Ramón Gutiérrez, and their acclaimed Son de Madera, a son jarocho ensemble. She grew up surrounded by fandangos and the son jarocho community and is also the niece of Quetzal Flores, founder of the Los Angeles-based Chicanorock band Quetzal. Most importantly, Lucía’s parents played many records at home –from the salsa nuggets of El Gran Combo to the Latin folk of Mercedes Sosa and the healing Soul sides of Aretha Franklin.
“I never had a Justin Bieber phase,” she laughs. “I was eight years old and was already obsessed with The Beatles, Nina Simone, and Sarah Vaughan. I wasn’t allowed to watch TV, which resulted in a few tantrums, but now I’m grateful about that because those choices expanded my horizons.”
After getting a degree in Jazz Studies from the university of Veracruz, Lucíacontributed vocals to Mexican singer/songwriter Natalia Lafourcade’sDe Todas LasFlores– one of the key Latin albums of the 21stcentury. She also performed with Lafourcade at Carnegie Hall (as well as being a backup singer on tour for two years), an experience that had a massive effect on her carving out her own path.
