A Vocalist Dream Come True
Embodying sweet and spicy, Graciela is living her dream. As a child in Mexico, she learned and sang every song she fell in love with ranging from classic boleros to romantic ballads. In her teens, she owned the dance floor along with her brother. Today, she interprets the best of today's Latin music all the while connecting with every member of the audience.
Grooving With the Team
Drumming from an early age, Luis graduated from pots and pans to drum set and for the last 25 years, Latin percussion. Luis has performed Latin jazz, Latin funk, salsa and many other Latin rhythms in Arizona and Oregon. True Latin percussion is not a solo sport. With Barrio Mestizo, Luis is joined by some of the best percussionists in the Portland Metro area.
