Hilda Lamas + Musician in Harlingen, TX

ABOUT

With pipes that don’t stop and a smart sense of what the crowd de jour wants, this latina soulstress delivers. Hilda’s no-nonsense attitude comes through in every song. Her live shows consist of the best blues, soul, and latin. Hilda has been dubbed “The Queen of Latina Soul”.

Growing up in the small town of Aransas Pass, Texas, Hilda began her musical journey singing in the local Baptist Church and continued to grace the stage not only at church but at school functions as well. After graduation she made the move to Corpus Christi, Texas to attend Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi where she studied vocal performance with famed vocalist, Flika Rahn. Hilda quickly became a favorite at various events and ceremonies to perform The Star-Spangled Banner.

Hilda was later signed to Hacienda Records and released her debut album, “Latina Soul”, which contained covers and originals in both English and Spanish. Hilda’s rendition of Koko Taylor’s “Voodoo Woman” hit the #37 spot on the iTunes Blues Charts in Austria and her cover of the Etta James classic, “Damn Your Eyes” hit the #67 spot on the iTunes Blues Charts in Mexico.

“Love Me Alone”, Hilda’s sophomore album was released in March 2013. The album contains 13 original songs from songwriters around the world. The album topped the Roots Music Report Internet Blues Charts for 9 weeks and closed out 2013 at #1.

Hilda has performed for many dignitaries including Texas Governor Rick Perry and has opened for many national acts such as Marcia Ball, Los Lobos, and The Texas Tornados.

This Blues Princess is currently touring her home state of Texas and is in preproduction for her next studio release.
