Described by World Music Central as “one of the great new voices in Spanish language Latin music,” Amanda Martinez has been embraced by sold-out theatres all over Canada with highly acclaimed albums to her credit: Sola, Amor, Mañana, and Libre. Her highly anticipated latest album "Recuerdo" launched worldwide in July 2024. Produced by her longtime guitarist and co-writer, Kevin Laliberté, and co-produced by her husband, bassist Drew Birston, it is a daring adventure that incorporates elements of world fusion, Cuban rhythms, and an injection of pop that is her most personal to date. It is dedicated to the memory of her father, Gustavo Martinez, who bicycled from Mexico to Toronto in 1956.
