Silvana Estrada on Her New ‘Truly Ideal Job’ with the LA Phil & 6 Latin Grammy Nominations: ‘It’s the Cherry on Top’
The Mexican singer-songwriter speaks with Billboard Español ahead of Thursday’s ceremony in Las Vegas.
One year after the release of her acclaimed album Vendrán Suaves Lluvias (2025), Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada has seen her music reach various countries and venues, from Mexico City's Teatro Metropólitan to Paris's La Cigale. Six nominations for the 27th Latin Grammy Awards, held in Las Vegas, are "the cherry on top" of her successful career, according to Estrada.
Competing in major categories such as album of the year, record of the year, and song of the year, she also assumes the role of creative director of Latin music for the Los Angeles Philharmonic (LA Phil), a position she describes as "truly the ideal job." This new role involves curating and creating projects for prestigious venues like the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Hollywood Bowl, and The Ford, where she has performed with renowned artists such as Panamanian icon Rubén Blades and jazz artist Cécile McLorin Salvant.
Estrada expresses her gratitude for the opportunities, stating that being able to work with diverse and talented individuals in the Latin music scene is a privilege. She plans to take a sabbatical year after the Latin Grammys to recharge before embarking on her next journey.
