Los Angeles

I am from the Colombian Andes and deeply inspired by the diverse sounds of my country. From the earthy gaita and accordion sounds of the Caribbean coast, and the rich Afro-Colombian drums and marimba of the Pacific, to the luminous, energetic harps of the Llanos and the sacred chants and flutes of the Amazon. My artistic practice reflects my self-healing journey through sound and writing, guided by a desire to create meaningful connections between spirit, culture, and emotional expression.
