Presidio Theatre Presents Lucía
at Presidio Theatre Performing Arts Center
(7:30pm)
The 2022 Winner of the 11th Annual Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, Lucía makes her San Francisco debut
at the Presidio Theatre. From Veracruz, México, Lucía became the first artist from Mexico to enter the competition
and she wowed the judges with her vocal quality, musicality, technique, performance, and ability to swing. She is heir to a family of musicians steeped in son jarocho, a traditional regional style that blends Spanish, African and indigenous Mexican influences.
Most recently, Lucía has just completed recording her first full album which will be 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.
