Lucía blends jazz with the rich traditions of Latin folk to create a sound that is entirely her own.
Born and raised in Veracruz, Mexico, her musical journey began at the age of two, performing alongside her parents—Laura Rebolloso and Ramón Gutiérrez—as part of the renowned Son de Madera ensemble. Immersed in the rhythms of fandangos and son jarocho, Lucía developed a deep-rooted connection to her heritage that continues to shape her artistry today.
In 2022, she made history as the first Mexican finalist—and eventual winner—of the prestigious Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. Her debut album, Lucía, released in May 2025, is a soulful fusion of American jazz and Latin folk, weaving together bolero, son jarocho, and soulful jazz standards.
With a soulful voice and captivating stage presence, Lucía brings a deep respect for tradition to the forefront of her music—reimagined through a contemporary, genre-blending lens that celebrates the global evolution of jazz.
Join Cascabel de Dos Ríos for a live, participatory fandango experience before Lucía takes the stage. Pick up an instrument. Learn a rhythm. Step onto the tarima. This is music as community, rooted in Indigenous and Afro-Mexican traditions, alive through you.
