JuanaRosa

With their socially conscious and often tender lyrics, JuanaRosa is one of the most innovative and vital to emerge from Chile’s capital in recent years. Firmly grounded in the rich history of Chilean folk music, the all-female band both pays homage to Violeta Parra and Victor Jara but also pushes boundaries and contemporizes the genre through their unique take on Latin American ElectroPop.

Fernanda Quevedo (lead vocals, guitar, loops and percussion), Josefa Hidalgo (bass, electric guitar and vocals) and Daniela Salinas (synthesizer, accordion, percussion and vocals) met as music students at the University of Chile. Inspired by Latin American music, the band formed in 2015, and released their first album in 2016, featuring all original music layered over latin rhythms. The band incorporates pop and “folktronica” influences while not losing their organic acoustic sound. JuanaRosa released their second album, “Portal,” in 2021, and has released two additional singles and a deluxe version of the album “Portal” to coincide with the North American tour.
