Composing on guitar, charango, rhythm, and voice, Camelia Jade weaves tradition and innovation into songs that are lush and percussive, joyous or bittersweet.  Camelia (pronounced kah-MEL-ee-ah) creates instrumental explorations that become a living soundtrack and sings with a voice that is both soothing and strong.  Drawing from her Chilean-American heritage, she writes in English and Spanish. Her music emerges like the varied landscapes of Chile; sunbaked expansive deserts, wet and moody archipelagos, and nostalgic subtropical love songs.  She revisits the folklorica and Musica Andina from her heritage to infuse it with the freedom and experimentation she has found in music on the West Coast of the United States and in Queer culture.
