Amanda Martinez
​​Music

Described by World Music Central as “one of the great new voices in Spanish language Latin music”, Amanda Martinez has been embraced by audiences all over the world with five highly acclaimed albums to her credit: Sola, Amor, Mañana, Libre and most recently: Recuerdo.

Her highly anticipated latest album Recuerdo launched worldwide July 5, 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 who bicycled to Toronto from Mexico in 1956 and from whom she says “I got my love of music”.
