  • Bio

    Grammy nominated vocalist, composer and arranger Perla Batalla was born in Los Angeles, CA. Her father was a musician and her mother ran a popular record store Discoteca Batalla, which catered to the Spanish speaking neighborhoods of the westside. She first gained international attention as a backup singer for Leonard Cohen. In 1994 the legendary Jac Holzman signed Perla to her first major deal on the Warner/Discovery label. Being the rebel she is, in the year 1999 Perla started her own label and won "Best Indie Release of the Year" from Amazon.com for her "Mestiza" song cycle she wrote with David Batteau. Soon after..... blah,blah, blah, blah.... to this day Perla tours regularly around the world singing songs she loves with great musicians...her best days are spent hanging out with people she adores (like husband Claud Mann and genius daughter Eva), eating great food, and drinking good red wine. ...... ..Perla Batalla sings "Suzanne" live in Spain.. ........ .. .. .. .. ....

    Hi,
    Thanks for visiting our site and being our friend. We are a rock 'n' roll band out of Southern California in the vein of The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. If you like The Rolling Stones, you will probably like us as we play that same blues based rock style that they do. Best wishes.
