Laura Itandehui (Early Show)

Sid The Cat Presents Laura Itandehui (Early Show) 9/27/2026 at Healing Force of the Universe Singer, composer, and artist from Oaxaca, Mexico, Laura Itandehui has emerged as one of the most authentic and forward-thinking voices in contemporary Latin music. Her work is rooted in a deep musical exploration that blends jazz, vocal improvisation, and Latin American popular rhythms, shaped by a poetic, luminous, and distinctly personal sensibility. Her musical path began in early childhood, when she first took up the violin and discovered the sounds of huapango, bolero, and jazz. Growing up, she was deeply influenced by iconic songwriters and performers such as José Alfredo Jiménez, Benny Moré, Joan Manuel Serrat, Víctor Jara, and Héctor Lavoe—figures whose emotional honesty and musical depth would later resonate in her own songwriting. From an early age, music became her native language and a central force in her life. Laura later pursued formal training in Singing and Scat at the Jazz Academy of the Escuela Superior de Música, building a strong technical foundation that supports her artistic freedom and experimental spirit. Her work stands at the crossroads of tradition and exploration, revitalizing the essence of the Latin American song through her own sense of Mexican identity.
