About Lucia:
With her sumptuous voice, melodic invention and serious bebop chops, Lucía Gutierrez Rebolloso was not only the first artist from Mexico to enter the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition in 2022 but at the tender age of 21, she won, launching a promising, unprecedented career.
Performing under her first name, Lucía hails from Veracruz, where she started singing and dancing in her parents’ acclaimed son jarocho band, Son de Madera. Smitten with jazz, she earned a bachelor’s degree in jazz studies from the Universidad Veracruzana. Already a veteran of leading festivals, Lucía continues to hone a beguiling artistic vision combining her love of jazz, various Latin American idioms and popular music.
Most recently, Lucía has just completed recording her first full album which was released in early 2025. Produced by Grammy-winner Matt Pierson, it presents Lucía’s interpretations of jazz standards (“What a Difference a Day Makes,” “You Must Believe in Spring,” etc.) classic Spanish songs (including “Silencio,” “La Llorona,” “Como Fue”) and current pop songs (by Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo), featuring an extraordinary group of musicians including Edward Simon, David Sanchez, Larry Grenadier, and Antonio Sánchez.
Lucía has already collaborated with several world-renown artists and musicians, including Natalia Lafourcade, Aloe Blacc, La Santa Cecilia, Quetzal, Son de Madera, Alex Mercado, and the National Jazz Orchestra of Mexico (ONJMX in Spanish).
She has performed on stages around world: Carnegie Hall, Rose Hall at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Royce Hall at UCLA, the ASU Gammage in Arizona, El Cantoral, the National Center for the Arts, and the Teatro de la Ciudad Esperanza Iris in Mexico City. She has also performed in renowned festivals like the Folk Festival in Vancouver and the International Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato, Mexico.
