Whether singing in English, Spanish or Portuguese, Magos Herrera's expressive voice bridges language barriers through pure emotion. On Distancia, she reaches across those borders thematically as well as linguistically with a set of tunes about longing and separation. The Mexico City-born, New York-based singer gathered a cast of NYC's finest — many of them bringing along their own cultural fusions — for her U.S. debut, a vivid blend of Latin and African-inspired grooves and a rainbow's worth of pastel-hued vocal colors.
