Silvana won the 2022 Latin GRAMMY for "Best New Artist." Her breakthrough debut album 'Marchita' was highlighted and featured in The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Kelly Clarkson Show, BBC Radio 6, The Guardian, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, and more. Silvana was also the first Spotify Mexico "EQUAL" artist and spotlighted in Apple Mexico's "Up Next" program.

Silvana's childhood home was the setting for her NPR "Tiny Desk (Home) Concert." She grew up in a house where not only music, but instruments, were made. Both of Silvana's parents are luthiers, and a path was worn to their home in Coatepec, a mountain town in Veracruz, by the musicians who arrived daily to commission a new violin or cello, or have their instruments repaired.

Silvana has performed and recorded with artists including Natalia Lafourcade, who like Silvana, grew up outside Veracruz as well as Andrew Bird, Helado Negro, Devendra Banhart, Jorge Drexler, the LA Philharmonic among others.

The range of emotions Silvana displays is nothing short of a wonder. The singer-songwriter can be inviting and tender at one moment while making the hairs stand out on the back of your neck the next. 'Marchita' is an enchanting rollercoaster ride of emotions, exhuming the sweetest desire and the deepest despair, pierced by her poetic, arresting delivery. A natural performer if there ever was one.

Mexican indie star Silvana Estrada has released the new single "Milagro y Desastre." The song was produced by her longtime collaborator Gustavo Guerrero. It is accompanied by an official video directed by Camila Grandi.

Milagro y Desastre is the first song that Silvana has written with only her voice - she used a loop pedal to create harmonies and then added textures in the studio.

"This song was born out of my belief that big life-changing events are equal parts miracle and disaster," she explains. "This idea has helped me a lot to understand and heal my experiences over the years. In this song I wanted to vindicate all the faces of love, even the love that hurts when it ends."

Milagro y Desastre follows Silvana's recent release of a new cover of the Suzanne Vega classic "Tom's Diner."
"I rediscovered 'Tom's Diner' on my first US tour performing my album 'Marchita,'" Silvana shares. "While traveling the long highways of this vast country we came across the original a cappella version by Suzanne Vega.
The song is brave in its simplicity. I felt like I was watching a beautiful movie."
