#billboardlatinweek :“In the Lobby”,presented by Women In Music x @peermusicmia in collaboration with Grammys Florida Chapter.

What a great way to kickstart this Latín Music week in Miami!!!

Held at the one-of-a-kind Savage Labs Wynwood, the evening had such a special atmosphere. Between the venue’s eclectic character, the intimate live performances, and the opportunity to connect with fellow musicians and industry professionals, it was one of those nights to remember.

A definite highlight was the performance by Grammy-winning band Kerreke alongside @danielapadronviolin .Their fusion of Latin American musical traditions(especially Venezuelan music),infectious rhythms, and contemporary influences was so unique and also so powerful!The set the stage in fire.

I was especially captivated by @cynthiabague ‘s beautiful vocals and magnetic energy onstage,and of course, Daniela’s virtuoso and powerful violin playing🎻 As a classical guitarist en route to embracing more crossover projects , I have a special appreciation for artists who come from a classical tradition and are able to move so effortlessly between musical worlds. Watching Daniela bring that level of virtuosity, freedom, and personality to the performance was truly inspiring. It’s a reminder that our classical training can be a starting point for so many different forms of musical expression.

And as a Latina musician,evenings like this make me especially proud of my roots. 🇨🇺❤️ I love seeing how Latin music continues to evolve, bringing together different traditions, genres, and generations while staying connected to the cultures that shaped it. There is so much creativity coming out of our community, and it's exciting to witness how Latin artists continue to redefine what our music can sound like.

Thanks @womeninmusic ,Peer Music and The Recording Academy’s Florida Chapter,for creating a great evening surrounded by talent, creativity, and inspiring people.
