Described by World Music Central as “one of the great new voices in Spanish language Latin music,” Amanda Martinez has been embraced by the masses all over the world with four previously released, highly acclaimed albums to her credit: Sola, Amor, Mañana and Libre.
Her highly anticipated new album, Recuerdo – produced by her longtime guitarist Kevin Laliberté and co-produced by her husband, bassist Drew Birston, is a daring departure that incorporates elements of world fusion, Cuban rhythms and an injection of English pop that is her most adventurous album to date. It is dedicated to the memory of her father Gustavo who bicycled to Toronto from Mexico in 1956 and from whom she says “I got my love of music”.
