"If you are a Madonna fan, you'll love this artist as her voice recalls at times the pop icon. This engaging pop artist of Latin heritage, however, has a style all her own and is a terrific acoustic guitar player to boot."
-Lynn Carey Saylor founder of www.GuitarGirls.com

A critic from the North East Performer said about Lourdes, a Boston area coffeehouse favorite for years, "What a beautiful, smooth, yet solid voice Lourdes has! With her crystal clear voice she successfully conveys the depth of feeling she is trying to express. Like musical poetry... she conveys every emotion and the feel of each word with utmost belief and sincerity. The instrument leading the way is acoustic guitar, effectively and eloquently tying each song together." Lourdes' music is a celebration of the human spirit that enchants and inspires listeners.

Lourdes Pita's Bio
Lourdes, of Hispanic heritage, picked up the guitar when she was nine
years old. Her mother, the internationally acclaimed Cuban poet in exile, Juana Rosa Pita, taught her how to play the guitar and to sing Spanish and English folk songs. Lourdes studied classical music throughout elementary school and high school and played with the orchestra as second chair flute. It wasn't until her last year of high school that she realized writing songs and performing was her true passion. Playing flute, bass and guitar, she performed with several bands in the Miami area before she set out on her own in 1986.

Sinking deep roots into the New England soil and the streets of Boston, she acquired numerous devoted fans. Since arriving in Boston, Lourdes has released three self-produced cassettes, which have all sold out and received favorable reviews from music critics. Now is the Time, the title track from her latest release, has received extensive airplay from local college radio stations. It was also very well received in Spain, where it got regular airplay in Barcelona. It was also aired in Prague, and has gotten continuous airplay alongside Gloria Estefan's Reach in the Czech Republic.

Lourdes went from her first full time gig in a small pub in Stuart Florida to the streets of New England and has since appeared on television for an After School Special episode where she played bass in an all girl high school band, and opened up for such big name acts as Livingston Taylor and Patty Larkin. She enjoys writing, composing, arranging and recording most of all. With her the release of her up and coming CD, In Control, Nov 2001 , Lourdes will be touring to promote it in 2002 mainly in the New England area and soon to relocate to the west coast.
