Reviews
"The Mexican-born Herrera sings in Spanish, English and Portuguese. But really, what she does transcends language. Blending elements from various traditions, she's stretching the very notion of jazz singing, pushing past the diva pleasantries into a sound that's bold, thrilling and effortlessly global.Tom Moon for NPR radio 06/09)
��Herrera creates a thoroughly modern expression of jazz performance and Latin culture on Distancia, easily holding the weight of an intelligent and complex sound with her prodigious musicianship.� The Latin Jazz Corner by Chip Boaz
