About me

Elgin, United States

Leti Garza; entertainer, musician, singer-songwriter, educator and producer from Houston, Texas, connects the world through music. She comes from a celebrated family of singer-songwriters across the Americas. Let Garza has two projects from which she continues to develop her music, both with classic cover tunes, as well as originals. Leti Garza y La Banda, a Latin Jazz DANCE Band, draws from the North American influences of Latin Jazz, Pop and Salsa; the South American Afro-Caribbean rhythms of Cuba, the dance rhythms of Colombia and the Dominican Republic and the bossa nova and samba rhythms of Brazil. The Leti Garza Trio, a LISTENING band, also draws from the Afro-Caribbean rhythms of Cuba’s son, but adds danzon and boleros; the valses and baladas of Mexico; the trova traditions of South and Central America; Brazil’s bossa nova and samba and finally, American Folk music.
Leti Garza is a global Tejana, and her music refuses categorization.
