Daughter of musicians, wife of a musician, mother of musicians, she has made music, breathed music, lived music since early childhood but never made a living out of it. Born from Afro Colombian father and Amerindian mother in the valleys of the Andes in Central Colombia, educated in Bogotá and settled for the past 25 years in Cartagena on the Caribbean Coast, her music rightfully incarnates the rich tri-ethnic diversity of Colombia, the Caribbean and the whole of South America.

Discovered for international audiences by three time Grammy Award winner music producer KC Porter in 2001, she’s now into her second album of inspirational world music, Talisman, under KC’s Insignia Records label. Here again she sings Bahá’u’lláh’s Words in a variety of ethnic musical styles from the sacred drumming traditions of the Circum-Caribbean with a new tribalglobal sound.
