Sid The Cat presents Laura Itandehui at Healing Force of the Universe, spotlighting a singer, composer, and artist from Oaxaca, Mexico whose work weaves jazz, vocal improvisation, and Latin American popular rhythms with a poetic, personal touch. Her musical path began in childhood with the violin and early encounters with huapango, bolero, and jazz, and her songwriting echoes the emotional depth of artists such as José Alfredo Jiménez, Benny Moré, Joan Manuel Serrat, Víctor Jara, and Héctor Lavoe. She later studied Singing and Scat at the Jazz Academy of the Escuela Superior de Música, grounding her adventurous approach in strong technique and revealing a contemporary voice that connects tradition with fresh possibilities through a distinctly Mexican perspective.
