Mireya Ramos
By Charlotte Stace
Mireya Ramos brings her famously rich mix of sounds to Barcelona. A Latin Grammy winner and multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy nominee, she is a vocalist, violinist, composer, producer and arranger best known as the founder of Flor de Toloache, New York’s first all-female mariachi. Her music moves between mariachi, cumbia, salsa and merengue, but also pulls in R&B and soul, giving it a contemporary edge rooted in her Latina identity.
That range is a big part of what makes her stand out. She’s one of the leading voices in New York’s Latin music scene, known for her improvisational skill, distinctive tone and genre-blending approach. Her debut solo album Mireya featured collaborators including Gaby Moreno, Haydée Milanés, Camilo Lara and Mike Garson, while her new album Guerrera explores grief and emotional recovery after the end of a relationship.
