Chavez, the subject of an hour-long PBS special and whose NPR Tiny Desk Concert boasts over 1.3 million views, is able to blend the sounds of the Americas with incredible musicianship and grace. Her bilingual album, Up.Rooted, topped the Amazon and Latin iTunes charts, and NPR’s Felix Contreras said “I dare you to walk away and not become a fan.”
She is a co-founder of the Niñas Arriba College Fund forLatin American girls, providing underprivileged youth with college scholarships and a six-month paid internship upon graduation for over 10 years now. After co-founding the fund, Chavez told Arts In Context, “When your passion meets the world’s greatest needs, that’s where you’re supposed to be.”
