Rodriguez’ life is an artistic stage, dedicating herself to performances
steeped in family tradition and cultural connections. Her music is a bridge
uniting tradition and 21st century cultural realities, as well as an homage
to her Tia, Eva Garza. From these ties, Leticia Rodriguez debuts her first

cover music filled with meaning and heart.
Leticia Rodriguez is a charismatic entertainer, performing Latin music well 
loved the world over. Rodriguez’ songs span the decades – starting with
music from the 1920s through the 1950s and continuing through today’s
music. Many of the tunes on *La Americana* were sung by Rodriguez’ aunt,
internationally renowned Eva Garza, who was one of the first Latina
crossover artists from Decca Records (Columbia). Rodriguez has a rich
heritage of music within her family including singer-songwriters David,
Carrie and Philip Rodriguez.
Bringing forth music from her Aunt Eva along with selected composers and 
music representative of Mexico (Augustin Lara), Puerto Rico (Rafael
Hernandez), Cuba (Don Raymat), Argentina (Carlos Gardel) and the United
States (Willie Colon), Rodriguez redefines the experience of American music.
