Eliize Navarro, a rising younger Mexican singer, songwriter, bandleader is one to observe. Check out the movies

I really like watching younger musical expertise develop. Singers, guitarists, bassists, drummers – I’ve identified many younger folks beginning off of their music careers and watched them develop and succeed. Now that I’m in Mexico and watching Latin music – and Mexican music particularly – rise quick in reputation, I’ve been preserving my eyes on younger Mexican expertise on the cusp of breaking out of their native scene and constructing a profession on this very powerful trade. I’ve discovered various;  Mary’s Island for instance, which lately pushed previous 150,000 downloads on Spotify and packed one of many space’s largest venues for his or her anniversary live performance.

I’ve been watching one other rising expertise, Elizzé Navarro, a lady with all of the substances for achievement.

I’ve seen Elizzé in numerous band configurations, a tough rock band, a covers/pop band, a duet with the lead singer from Mary’s Island, Fer Parra, and solo. This type of band swapping and evolution is regular for younger musicians discovering their groove and their compadres and their band sound.  I believe she has it now along with her newest undertaking, Elizzé Music.

I noticed Elizzé Music twice this weekend;  Friday evening at a small dinner venue, then Sunday afternoon at one of many space’s favourite music and meals spots, Baja Norte.  I’ve been keeping track of her as a result of she has all of the substances for achievement: a singular voice, songwriting, stage presence, magnificence, the power to assemble an excellent band led by excellent guitarist Benjamine Guerra, and confidence. All she wants is a bigger stage and a youthful viewers.

I say youthful viewers as a result of a lot of the venues she has been taking part in in have older audiences, which is nice for ideas and home, however to cater to their tastes she should do a variety of covers as an alternative of her unique materials. She has solved this downside along with her personal takes on acquainted songs and singing lots of the covers in Spanish. She has a terrific blues growl and may belt when she desires to, loading emotion right into a tune such as you would load butter and cream cheese and bacon bits onto a steaming mashed potato. Her “Summertime” mesmerized the group as she dropped down into her decrease registers, growled “One in all these mornings, you’re goin’ to stand up singin’” and  then soared with “And also you’ll unfold your wings and also you’ll take the sky . Even in an out of doors restaurant with a one speaker PA and a tip field in entrance of the stage, she made it sound like a live performance corridor.

So now what? If she follows the trail that others I do know have adopted, she and her band will open for bigger bands, put some songs on Spotify and Bandcamp, transfer from eating places to golf equipment – or extra seemingly do each to pay the payments. And she is going to document – she is heading right into a studio in Canada on March 10 and I’ll allow you to what the end result s. Then you can also preserve your eye on a rising younger Mexican expertise.
