Equal parts nomad and musician, Rebeca Vallejo's life has led her across several continents and infused her music with an awareness and understanding of a multitude of cultures. Born into a family of singers in Madrid, Spain, Rebeca was immediately immersed in the rich musical language of flamenco, hand in hand with her grandfather, himself a flamenco singer. Beginning her public performances at the age of four, the musical journey that grew in an urban neighborhood of Madrid eventually took Rebeca to United Kingdom, where she developed a deep passion for Jazz. Arriving in New York in 2000, Rebeca began collaborating and performing with the most sought after musician of the Latin-Jazz scene. Through this exposure, she uncovered the emotional beauty and rhythmic complexity of Brazilian music. It was there that she discovered the third corner of a musical triangle that she would infuse into her own foundation. In addition to being an acclaimed performer, Rebeca Vallejo is the creator and bandleader of the musical projects EuroLatinJazz, an accomplished composer, a Jazz arranger, and main vocalist of the Flamenco Dance Company "Día Flamenco"
