Silvana Estrada on Her New ‘Truly Ideal Job’ with the LA Phil & 6 Latin Grammy Nominations: ‘It’s the Cherry on Top’

Silvana Estrada has been appointed the first creative director of Latin music for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a role she describes as her “truly ideal job”. She will curate and create projects across the organisation’s venues, bringing a range of Latin American musical voices to audiences.

The appointment comes as Estrada’s independently produced album *Vendrán Suaves Lluvias* receives six nominations for the 27th Latin Grammy Awards, including album, record and song of the year. An expanded edition came out in October; after her Latin Grammy performance and two December shows at Mexico City’s Auditorio Nacional, she plans to take a year away from performing.
