Maria has become a citizen of the world and yet her ties to Ecuador are evident in the heart of her music. A vocal quality that shifts color, urgency and mystery as each song carries her into a unique realm.

Pin point melodic and rhythmic accuracy don’t get in the way of her emotional truth. This all exists quite effortlessly it seems in Maria’s well trained voice that also yearns to tell stories of real life, real people, real emergencies on our planet. Her musicianship and her humanity are on the line with each song and improvisation.

Maria is an amazing singer.
