Singer, songwriter, and arranger Claudia Acuña was born on July 31, 1971 in Santiago, Chile. Claudia Acuña draws upon the culture of her homeland by fusing Latin rhythms with her instinctive jazz sensibilities.
Many of her songs are sung in Spanish, making it clear that music crosses all barriers – particularly when sung with her distinctive brand of authentic emotion.
Her recording Luna moved beyond the jazz standards of previous releases for a more contemporary R&B/Latin feel.
