Presented by Sid The Cat, Laura Itandehui appears at Healing Force of the Universe. The singer, composer, and artist from Oaxaca, Mexico brings an inventive approach to contemporary Latin music, blending jazz, vocal improvisation, and Latin American popular rhythms with a poetic and personal touch. Her musical story began in childhood with the violin, alongside early encounters with huapango, bolero, and jazz. Influences such as José Alfredo Jiménez, Benny Moré, Joan Manuel Serrat, Víctor Jara, and Héctor Lavoe helped shape the emotional clarity and depth that now resonate in her own songs. She later refined her craft by studying Singing and Scat at the Jazz Academy of the Escuela Superior de Música, building strong technique to support her freedom to explore. The result is music that bridges tradition and discovery... a revitalization of the Latin American song shaped by her Mexican identity.
