Band Members Magdaliz Roura (Voice/ Guitar) Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. From an early age, Miss Roura showed a talent for music by singing, playing instruments by ear, and improvising. Growing up she played the piano, the guitar, and sang in family gatherings and in many school activities earning numerous awards. She is a former member of the Concert Choir of the University of Puerto Rico (1992-94), the Symphonic Choir of Puerto Rico (1992-94); Temple University Concert Choir (1994-95), and the Temple University Choral (1995-96). She also participated in the Latin-American Choir's Festival in Caracas, Venezuela (1993), and the Maestro Helmuth Rillin's Master Class (1996 & 1997). Over the last 15 years she has been living, studying, performing, and working in Philadelphia as a Music Therapist; Music Teacher; Spanish Teacher and Tutor; Musician and Singer; Salsa Dancer, Singer; Spanish/English translator and interpreter; and Recreational Therapist. As a Philadelphia resident, she has performed with several musical ensembles and co-founded others like the Areito Salsa Band (2001-05) and the Quartet Bembé (2005-07).
