..."The Mexican-born Herrera sings in Spanish, English and Portuguese. But really, what she does (...)transcends language. Blending elements from various traditions, she's stretching the very notion of jazz singing, pushing past the diva pleasantries into a sound that's bold, thrilling and effortlessly global".
Tom Moon, NPR 2009
..."Herrera creates a thoroughly modern expression of jazz performance and Latin culture (...), easily holding the weight of an intelligent and complex sound with her prodigious musicianship.
The latin jazz corner, Chip Boaz, 2010

“Magos Herrera is the Cassandra Wilson of Latin America. There are similarities in their warm, sultry tone, their bluesy feeling and strong command of the jazz language. Herrera is without a doubt the best jazz singer out of Mexico, and with México Azul she is establishing herself among the best singers in jazz.” This is what jazz connaisseur and journalist Wilbert Sostre penned in his review about the album México Azul for the acclaimed music magazine Jazz Times.
Born in Mexico City and currently based in New York City, Magos Herrera is considered one of the most beautiful voices and most active vocalists in the contemporary Latin American jazz scene. She is known for her beguiling rhythmic scatting and deep captivating singing. Besides Herrera is a dazzling accomplished singer songwriter who is immensly popular throughout Mexico and Latin America.
