Edna Vazquez is a fearless singer, songwriter, composer, and guitarist whose powerful voice and musical talent transcend the boundaries of language to engage and uplift her audience. She is a creative musical artist with a vocal range that allows her to paint seamlessly with her original material, an intersection of Mexican Tradicional, rock, pop and other genres. Edna’s passion for music and performance grew from her bicultural roots and, with songs deeply rooted in universal human emotion, she has traveled far and wide spreading her message of light, love and cultural healing. Vazquez has grown as a musical artist and collaborator over the last years, touring all over the world since 2017 with the acclaimed “little orchestra” Pink Martini, while still performing as a solo artist as well. In the past, she led her own band projects, the Edna Vazquez Quartet, the rock band No Passengers, and the latest, the Edna Vazquez Band. Vazquez also participated in the Latin Grammys with the all-female mariachi fusion band from New York City, Latin Grammy 2017 winners, Flor de Toloache and accompanying Natalia Lafourcade that night. In 2022, as a soloist, Vazquez participated in two great events, one in Canto en Resistencia (Power to the People!) with the LA Philharmonic, with Davendra Banhardt, Ile, Silvana Estrada, Rodrigo Amarante, Jorge Glem, and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. She also appeared at The Hollywood Bowl with the acclaimed pianist Lang Lang and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, performing DESTINO (1946), a film collaboration between Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney. With Pink Martini, Edna Vazquez has performed with major Symphonies and in legendary concert venues all over the world, including London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, the Montreal Jazz Festival, and many more. In 2017, Vazquez released an EP album with Pink Martini entitled “Besame Mucho” and featuring her original single “Sola Soy.” And in the Summer of 2025, Edna Vazquez released her new album “Te Esperaba,” a collection of mostly original compositions based in traditional Northern Mexican styles like Banda and Norteño, and also in traditional Mariachi. Edna is proud to continue to venture into these traditionally male-dominated genres with her powerful interpretive voice.

En una semana estaré presentando un repertorio en el Schnitzer Hall. El programa se divide en dos movimientos. El primero con composiciones de Piazzola (uno de los compositores que más me han inspirado) y el segundo con las canciones originales que tuve el honor de que el conductor de la serie de pop de Broadway, Jeff Tyzik me hiciera los arreglos sinfónicos. Si me preguntan cómo llegué hasta aquí? Sin pensar les contesto que he trabajado consciente y en disciplina a compartir esta virtud. Lo que más me interesa es que no dejen nunca de inspirarse a que todo es posible, todo se puede. Nos vemos en el Schnitzer, estaré representando a los que no dejamos de soñar nunca.

In a week, I’ll be performing a repertoire at Schnitzer Hall. The program is divided into two movements: the first features compositions by Piazzolla (one of my greatest inspirations), and the second includes original songs for which I had the honor of having symphonic arrangements created by Jeff Tyzik, conductor of the Broadway Pops series. If you ask how I got here? I’d answer without hesitation: through disciplined, conscious effort to share this gift. What matters most to me is that the world never stops believing that anything is possible—that we can achieve anything. See you at the Schnitzer; I’ll be representing all of us who never stop dreaming.

You won't want to miss this event today, Sunday, at Peninsula Park in Portland, Oregon! Gema Nereida (from Salem, OR) will be performing! Gema Nereida is a young woman who commands such respect! I’ve had the honor of knowing her since she was a child; I used to see her singing everywhere—even at the Salem flea market with her backing tracks—and look at her now! She is part of the University of Portland choir and the only Latina venturing into the local opera scene! What a huge achievement! Come see this wonderful singer who represents us so proudly!
She became like a beloved niece to me many years ago, back when I was playing with Aurelio Garnica’s Mariachi Los Palmeros.
