Juana Luna is a cantora, composer, community artist and wanderer. Originally from Buenos Aires, her travels have taken her around the globe, where she performs her soulful original compositions alongside wistful, delicate takes on traditional Argentinian folk songs. With Canciones en Blanco y Negro, Luna’s forthcoming release on Folkalist Records, she is leaning into her own vagabond ways and paying homage to drifting dreamers everywhere—including her own grandmothers and great great-grandmothers. “I feel very connected to all the women who came before me” says Luna, “In a way, this album is a ritual of acceptance to all the women whose stories don’t get told, whose suffering got swept under the rug. This is like an embrace, a way of looking through the generations to say thank you to those who came before me.”
Juana has performed at Carnegie Hall, David Geffen Hall, Lincoln Center, National Sawdust, and more. She has collaborated with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and her compositions have been commissioned by Berklee Press and Carnegie Hall.
