But really, what she does on Distancia transcends language. Blending elements from various traditions, she's stretching the very notion of jazz singing, pushing past the diva pleasantries into a sound that's bold, thrilling and effortlessly global. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104880601&sc=emaf Tom Moon for NPR radio 06/09 _______________________________________________________________________ “Herrera creates a thoroughly modern expression of jazz performance and Latin culture on Distancia, easily holding the weight of an intelligent and complex sound with her prodigious musicianship.” http://www.chipboaz.com/blog/2009/06/12/album-of-the-week-distancia-magos herrera/ The Latin Jazz Corner by Chip Boaz _________________________________________________________________________ “Though jazz long ago embraced Afro-Cuban influences that ought to make Mexico a logical bastion of the music, there are few well-known players from Mexico. But here is a brilliant singer, Magos Herrera, with a US debut on Sunnyside Records, recording with a top-flight band (Aaron Goldberg’s piano, Lionel Louke on guitar, among others) and making Mexican jazz sound as obvious as chocolate ice cream.” http://www.popmatters.com/pm/column/92830-singers-singers-everywhere Will Layman for popmatters, 06/09 _________________________________________________________________________ "5 stars Magos Herrera lovely, intriguing jazz vocal artistry, “Magos Herrera is a fascinating, multi-talended singer and this is one of 2009's best vocal performances.

   About Magos Herrera
magos herrera/ Distancia “… [S]he forges new paths in her repertoire … Afro-Latin, pop, and Brazilian influences – all perhaps unifying the Latin experience in a contemporary sense – yet most of all – brilliantly meshing and resonating with Mexico’s vast, diversified cultural legacies.” If you listen to “Salt of the Earth,” the sensational track from saxophonist Tim Ries’ Sunnyside CD, Stones World, you’ll hear a sensuous and thrilling contralto voice that swings and sighs, like no other. That voice belongs to the brilliant and beautiful, Mexican-born, New York-based singer, Magos Herrera. Like Luciana Souza and Claudia Acuna, she is a world-class jazz vocalist in the literal sense of the word: She’s fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and is likewise proficient in deciphering and delivering the syncopated science of jazz, and Afro-Hispanic musical genres. Her gifts are on full display on her Sunnyside debut, Distancia, supported by an exceptional rhythm section featuring guitarist Lionel Loueke, pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Ricky Rodriguez, drummer Alex Kautz, with background vocalists Ingrid and Jennifer Beaujean. Buoyed by that stellar lineup, Herrera delivers a delicious, dancing and diverse ten-track potpourri of original songs, and standards by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Milton Nascimento, and Cesar Portillo de la Luz. “All this music traveled within me, before being recorded, through different awarenesses of distance, just to remind me that life is movement, its energy that continuously transforms into new ideas, identities and paradigms,” Magos writes in the CD liner notes, “revealing that all true reencounters can only take place with deep surrender in the form of pure love, acceptance and gratitude.” Magos’ love and thanks come through loud and clear on this disc – co-produced by Tim Ries. Her self-penned songs “Reencuentro” “Tu Ojos,” “Staying Closer,” “Alegria,” “ New Song”are pulsed by scintillating vocal percussion, interlocking, Pan-Afro/American rhythmic structures, tinges of Joni Mitchell-style rock timbres, and flamenco-flavored handclaps. Magos reinterprets the works of master composers with equal verve. She updates Caesar Portillo De la Luz’s famous bolero “Tu, Mi Delirio,” with a kind of “quiet storm” vibe. Nascimento’s “Vera Cruz” is resurrected with a deep groove, which morphs into a spirited Tower of Babel-style vocal beat box. And Jobim’s “Retrato em Blanco E Preto,” “Inutil Paisaje,” and “Dindi” are rendered in impassioned ballad, bossa nova-scat, and John Coltrane-ish settings. If, as the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child,” then it takes an musician open to all of the world’s musical hues and grooves to produce an artist like Magos Herrera. Born in Mexico City, Magos graduated from the Musicians Institute of Technology, and studied at Mannes College of Music, the New England Conservatory, and privately with opera teacher Konstantin Jadan. She moved back to Mexico City in 1998, where she released her first CD, Cajuina (Independiente, 1998), followed by Whispering Orchids (Opcion Sonica, 2000), Mexican Divas II/III (Opcion Sonica, 2001-2002), Pais Maravilla (JM Distributors, 2003), Magos Herrera Compilacion (Mecca Records, 2004) Todo Puede Inspirar (EMI Music, 2005), and Soliluna(JM Distribuidores 2006).. She’s toured Latin America, India, Japan, and the United States . Over the past 4 years, through her pro-active love for music, she produced and hosted 2 TV shows that promoted music for Mexico’s TV, channel 22, and featured guest stars like Ute Lemper, Jerry Gonzalez, Diego el Cigala, among many others. Magos Herrera has evolved into a global-centric musician, capable of expressing herself in a multiplicity of languages, and vocal settings; from straight-ahead, ballads, scats, and the various dimensions and invention of Afro-Latin music. As Distancia, proves, no style of music is distant from her.   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Magos:
Hoy 23 de octubre del 2009 por fin pudimos conocerte, digo pudimos por que fue mi familia y pasamos un rato agradable con tu musica, y como tu dices la mejor música que se pueda escuchar es en vivo.Como no pudimos agaradecerte en vivo el que hayas venido a Toluca lo hacemos por este medio.
Ojala no tardes tanto en volver a esta tu casa Toluca.
De nuevo agradecemos esa voz maravillosa y que compartas tu música y claro también no olvidamos a los musicos que te acompañan son fabulosos.
Maravilloso el concierto!!!!
Saludos.
Suerte
