Ana Barajas

Ana Barajas is a sonic explorer whose voice carries the weight of tradition and the thrill of reinvention. Her music is a journey through time and genres—rooted in the Colombian folk sounds of her childhood, electrified by her early years in the metal scene, and enriched by global collaborations that stretch from jazz to electronica. With an unmistakable voice and a deep sense of storytelling, she crafts immersive soundscapes that blur the lines between the past and the future, the personal and the universal.

On Mango Motel, Ana Barajas reimagines Latin American classics with a bold, genre-defying touch. Co-produced with Austin-based musician Phil Spencer, the album was conceived during the quiet of the pandemic and unfolds as a deeply personal exploration of heritage, memory, and sound. Barajas draws from a wide spectrum of styles blending them into arrangements that feel both timeless and strikingly contemporary. With her evocative voice at the center, Mango Motel bridges cultural and generational divides, offering a vibrant, forward-thinking take on the traditions that have shaped her artistic identity.
