Latin Music Canada is thrilled to spotlight Locarno, the BC-based Latin powerhouse led by JUNO-award-winning musician Tom Landa, as they soar to new heights with their latest album, Colibrí Calíope. Drawing inspiration from Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba, this album is a stunning mix of original compositions and reimagined Mexican folk songs, blending traditional Latin genres like Son Jarocho, Salsa, and Cumbia with modern creativity.
Named after the migratory Calliope hummingbird that connects Mexico and Canada, the album beautifully mirrors Landa’s own journey as a Mexican-Canadian artist rediscovering and celebrating his roots. From soulful tracks like “Saudade” to dance-worthy hits like “La Pachangosa,” Colibrí Calíope is a vibrant celebration of identity, heritage, and belonging.
Landa’s personal story of reconnecting with his culture through music resonates deeply, reminding us of the power of art to bridge worlds and foster belonging. With Locarno’s talented ensemble and rich cultural influences, this album is a must-listen for anyone who loves music that transcends borders and genres.
