Camila Meza: “Portal” Album Release
Vocalist/guitarist/composer CAMILA MEZA is a rarity, a glorious triptych of an artist. She possesses a gift for composing brilliant musical landscapes, a captivating, soulfully pure vocal instrument, and a consummate prowess on guitar, ablaze with irresistible melodies and improvisations. Camila Meza, originally from Santiago, Chile, has garnered rapt attention from her colleagues, the press, and audiences in South America, New York City, and internationally, for her distinctive ability in blending jazz with her broad musical world (that includes Latin American, Brazilian, folk and pop), and for the emotional depth of her music. This rising star on the global jazz scene has been described by The New York Times as, "a bright young singer and guitarist with an ear for music of both folkloric and pop intention" and called, "a natural multi-talent, an improvising singer-guitarist who is one of the finest in the world in both creative realms" by pianist Aaron Goldberg.
On May 30th, Ground Up Music proudly releases Camila Meza's debut recording for the label (and her sixth overall). Portal, an awaited recording after six years since her award winning album Ambar, this marks her first production with only original compositions and embarks in a cinematic journey that touches themes of transformation, tapping into the archetypes of The Mother and The Wise Woman, and through their balancing and nurturing energies help envision a world where a more harmonious way of living can be achieved.
