Join us for an intimate and powerful night of music with three distinct voices from Latin America. Guatemalan singer-songwriter Mercedes Escobar brings her raw, blues-infused “Latin Americana” sound; Chilean artist Rana Osorio blends rock, jazz, and Latin roots into poetic soundscapes; and Nicolás Emden, from Chilean Patagonia, offers heartfelt folk-rock steeped in South American tradition. Together, they create a soulful celebration of identity, storytelling, and connection that transcends borders.

Bio:

Fluctuating between unleashed and sweet, Guatemalan singer-songwriter Mercedes Escobar’s raw, guttural vocals dominate any stage. Her voice has been likened to a mix between Linda Ronstadt and Howlin’ Wolf. She’s created a unique genre which blends the rawness of old blues and country vocals and guitar, with the intensity of magical realism lyrics and the sonic traditions of her home culture; All while staying true to her modern values against prejudice in music, race and gender. She calls this “Latin Americana.”
