In her early years, Luz grew up exposed to a lot of South American pop and traditional music. Since the age of 3 she was singing and dancing to every song she ever heard. She followed her passion and graduated as a contemporary dancer in Guayaquil, Ecuador then decided to move to NYC and persue her carreer as a profesional singer. After finishing her degree in Jazz and Contemporary Music Luz found her own original sound and way of turning her personal stories into, compositions influenced by Ecuadorian and South American rhythms. ( taken from: http:\/\/luzpinos.com\/)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_xmsonormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">When her grandpa passed away she decided to made this beautiful song about him, the moment I heard the song it I was immediately touched by her softly voice and the meaning behind every word of the lyric. Later we had a meeting with Luz and then started the collaboration between Ecua-Andino and she, the resolution was that for every special people she knows she will gave them a marvelous hat with a painted blue butterfly on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_xmsonormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">She presented her last single \u201cMozo\u201d in Guayaquil and was a totally success, you can see here pictures of the event and a recompilation of her entire presentation. I attended her intimate concert and the connection between Luz and the audience was pretty magic! I\u00b4m sure she is a totally rising star!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_849\" style=\"width: 602px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/luz-and-I.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-849\" class=\"wp-image-849 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/luz-and-I.jpg\" alt=\"luz and I\" width=\"592\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/luz-and-I.jpg 592w, https:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/luz-and-I-300x228.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luz and I posing for the picture<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"x_xmsonormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/mandar6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-851\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/mandar6.jpg\" alt=\"mandar6\" width=\"3319\" height=\"3264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/mandar6.jpg 3319w, https:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/mandar6-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/mandar6-1024x1007.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/panamaholic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/mandar6-624x614.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3319px) 100vw, 3319px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Release of the  &quot;Mozo&quot; single \/ Luz Pinos\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/48b-e6sNsqY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The people who are really close to me know that I started to read influenced by my grandpa\u2019s figure.
