Claudia
Acuña, vocalist
A
“fiery chanteuse” whose music is “intoxicatingly beautiful”
(Jazz Times), Chilean-born vocalist Claudia Acuña
made her mark on the jazz world in Santiago before coming to the U.S.
in her early 20s. She has since recorded three acclaimed albums: Word
from the South (2000), To My Country (2003), and Luna
(2004).
“ Acuña’s
voice is an instrument of wonder... [she] is a natural, blessed with
a gorgeous, honey-rich sound and an unerring sense of phrasing.”

Los Angeles Times
“ Her
voice, capable of producing sultry chest tones and silvery highs, was
showcased in a variety of English-Spanish contexts, including some that
consistently revealed her spot-on intonation and delightful harmonic
finesse.”
