Mexican rising star Silvana Estrada has today released the lyric video for self-produced new single ‘Qué Problema’. The track follows ‘Milagro y Desastre‘ which was released earlier this year ahead of her sold out show at London‘s EartH in June.

Speaking of ‘Qué Problema’ Silvana says:

“For me it is a letter to unrequited love. When two people love each other but only one has the will to try. I think it is a difficult situation to handle, people are not clear, we come and go and we make a lot of trouble for not saying things. This was my attempt to say them.”

Following the release of ‘Milagro y Desastre’ Silvana was profiled by NME and recorded a beautiful cover of Manu Chao‘s ‘Clandestino‘ for The Line of Best Fit.

Silvana is currently nominated for a Latin GRAMMY 2023 with her hugely popular (2.4 million views) track ‘Si Me Matan‘ in the ‘Best Singer-Songwriter Song‘ category. The song is in reaction to the femicides which plague Mexico with more than 10 women being murdered every day. Silvana sings, “like all girls, I grew up with fear / But even so, I would go out all alone to see the stars”. ‘Si Me Matan’ is from Silvana’s 2022 EP Abrazo. The EP is a combination of songs originally recorded during the Marchita album sessions as well more recent newer tracks. Silvana will perform tomorrow at the Rolling Stone En Español Awards Show In Miami, she has multiple nominations including ‘Album Of The Year‘.

Next month, Silvana Performs with Gustavo Dudamel And The LA Philharmonic from November 10-12 at Walt Disney Hall; The special LA event ‘Canto En Resistencia’ celebrates iconic protest music by latina artistsSilvana won the 2022 Latin GRAMMY for ‘Best New Artist‘. Her breakthrough debut album from last year Marchita was highlighted and featured in The Guardian, The New York Times, Pitchfork, BBC 6Music, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, and more.

Silvana’s childhood home was the setting for her NPR ‘Tiny Desk (Home) Concert‘. She grew up in a house where not only music, but instruments, were made. Both of Silvana’s parents are luthiers, and a path was worn to their home in Coatepec, a mountain town in Veracruz, by the musicians who arrived daily to commission a new violin or cello, or have their instruments repaired.Silvana has performed and recorded with artists including Natalia Lafourcade, who like Silvana, grew up outside Veracruz as well as Julieta Venegas, Andrew Bird, Helado Negro, Devendra Banhart, Jorge Drexler, the LA Philharmonic among others. This year she also collaborated with AURORA for a live version of ‘Care For Me‘ which has over 6 million views.

The range of emotions Silvana displays is nothing short of a wonder. She can be inviting and tender at one moment while making the hairs stand out on the back of your neck the next. Marchita is an enchanting rollercoaster ride of emotions, exhuming the sweetest desire and the deepest despair, pierced by her poetic, arresting delivery. A natural performer if there ever was one.
