It’s been a long road though. Edith grew up in seaside town Mazatlan on the coast of the pacific, and in Culiacan closer to the foothills of the mountains further inland. An upbringing with a strong social consciousness, and with both legends and superstition, and not least the local music. As a young girl she won singing competitions on TV, before she received a scholarship and as a 17-year-old went to the Bellas Artes Academy in Mexico City and sang all over the country. Yet she wanted to go to Europe and ended up in Sweden where she studied classical singing before she again returned home and worked in the Opera in the capital. For just a few years now, she has lived in Copenhagen. Edith Tamayo is the leader of the band Latincacao, that combines the traditional Mexican with afrolatinamerican and indigenous music. Edith also can be heard in a more intimate setting with a small group of musicians, has a special love for performing for children, and is constantly developing her music working together with musicians from different musical backgrounds. The songs – a mixture of traditionals and Tamayo’s material – all have a feather-light touch, airy and full of colour. Most of the largely acoustic stuff is in a life-affirming up-tempo Latin style. The guitars are bright and shimmery, and the percussions, although trimmed down, are naturally rich and present. Tamayo and her band has created a sort of natural blend of different Latin American styles: there are of course plenty of Mexican songs - with their instantly recognizable mariachi guitar sound and ¾ beat – but there is also a bit of salsa, a pinch of Afro-Cuban sensuality and folksy “call and response” stuff. With a voice that is as clear as a bell, accompanied by her hot band Tamayo brings with this record a lot of joyful music and some melancholy. It’s a sound that is impossible not to move to, or not to be moved by.
