WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT JUANITA:
“After hearing Juanita sing Handel’s “Messiah” Operachi style I can no longer hear it the traditional way. Her version gave it a whole new life and energy, while being totally true to the spirit of the music and text. It was one of the high points of the concert.”
Michael Morgan
Conductor, Oakland-East Bay Symphony
“With a smooth delivery and an exquisite voice, singer Juanita Ulloa is one of the finest mariachi singers in the country. Ulloa always impresses because she knows how to blend power with control.”
