Seating in the General Admission section is limited, first come first served, and may be standing room onlyEdna 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. Ednas 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 Dal and Walt Disney.With Pink Martini, Edna Vazquez has performed with major Symphonies and in legendary concert venues all over the world, including Londons 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 March 2023, Edna Vazquez will release her new album Te Esperaba, a collection of mostly original compositions based in traditional Northern Mexican styles like Banda and Norteo, and also in traditional Mariachi. Edna is proud to continue to venture into these traditionally male-dominated genres with her powerful interpretive voice.Mariachi Tradicion is an audition-based ensemble from Forest Grove High School in Forest Grove, Oregon.
