Estani

Estani’s appropriately titled debut album, “Mariposa” provides more than just an eclectic mix of styles yet to be merged with tejano music, it represents a metamorphosis of music, soul, and ambition encompassed in an 11 song CD.
“It wasn’t easy finding a sound that was completely unique and representative of who I am and where I came from” says the proud Texas native. Born and raised in San Antonio TX, Estani has always been acquainted with the melodic ring of the accordeon, the bajo sexto, the ever present keyboards, and the harmonies so familiar with conjunto and tejano.
Estani moved to Los Angeles after graduating from college and almost instantly began singing with local bands in Los Angeles. Since arriving, Estani has shared the stage with artists such as, Los Tigres del Norte, Ana Barbara, Nydia Rojas, La Mafia, singing duets with Flaco Jimenez,and Son By Four to name a few.
Her talents have taken her everywhere, not just vocally, but lyrically as well. Her songs have been picked up by artists in Russia all the way to TV shows in Argentina. She worked with multi-talented singer/songwriter Joan Sebastian for over two years, singing his famous duet, “Oiga”. Adding to the list, Estani sang back-up for Laura Pausini, appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, fronted the Afro-cuban jazz band Yeska on the Jerry Lewis telethon as well as traveling to perform at the annual Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada, worked as a background vocalist for Spanish Singer, Maricela, and recorded two albums for Japan.
Estani’s fluidity of verse and flexibility of style make it easy for her to transcend musical boundaries, writing catchy hooks and melodies almost effortlessly with every thought put on paper. Estani wrote every song on her debut cd. It is a tremendous feat for an artist to be able to say they wrote every song on their debut album. She has done just that.
We will be sure to hear much more from this rising dynamic singer/songwriter.
