About Hilda

 

With pipes that don't stop and a smart sense of what the crowd de jour wants, this latina soulstress delivers. Hilda's no-nonsense attitude comes through in every song. Her live shows consist of the blues originals as well as the best blues and soul covers. Hilda has been dubbed, The Queen of Latina Soul".

In February 2009, "Latina Soul" was released. The album contained covers and originals in both English and Spanish. While the release did not set the music world on fire, it received a nice international reception on iTunes, which was fantastic for Hilda never leaving the United States. "Voodoo Woman", a Koko Taylor cover, reached the #37 spot on the iTunes Blues Charts in Austria and "Damn Your Eyes", an Etta James classic, hit #67 on the iTunes Blues Charts in Mexico. Hilda spent the next three years touring and promoting "Latina Soul".

In 2012, Hilda hit the studio to begin work on her sophomore album. For this album, she teamed up with songwriters from around the world and recorded 100% original material. "Love Me Alone" was released in February 2013 and quickly topped the Roots Music Report Internet Blues Charts, reaching the #1 spot for 9 weeks straight. Hilda's album received great reviews from around the world and was named the only Latina Blues Singer by Tejano Magazine.

Hilda has performed for many dignitaries including Texas Governor Rick Perry and has opened for many national acts such as Marcia Ball, Los Lobos, and The Texas Tornados. This Blues Princess is currently touring her home state of Texas and is working on her next studio projects a Neo-Soul album with producer Charles Hearn and a Spanish Language ballad album with Hall of Fame producer Rick Garcia.

“Participants paused for the national anthem, staring upward at the American flag dangling from the boom of a 30-ton pink crane. Vocalist Hilda Lamas belted a high note with such vibrato it burst a speaker.”

                                                        - Mike Baird, Corpus Christi Caller Times (Oct 21, 2012)

 

“Victoria Advocate's Best bet in Entertainment this weekend!”

“Hilda Lamas (center) wowed the crowd with her rendition of the national anthem at last Friday’s Nueces County Democratic Party fundraiser on the Lexington Museum on the Bay. Henry Cisneros (from left), former San Antonio mayor and former Housing and Urban Development secretary; Rose Harrison, Nueces County Democratic Party chairwoman; and gubernatorial candidate Bill White were visibly impressed by the vocals. Lamas gave the second national anthem performance at the event following the Veterans Band’s version led by Ram Chavez. “Who says Democrats are not patriotic?” Cisneros said. “We even have two pledges and two National Anthems!””

"Hilda, Baby, you are awesome! That is a beautiful song and I love your rendition!"

                                                                                - Texas Governor Rick Perry (Sep 23, 2009)
