Mexico’s Magos Herrera is considered one of the most beautiful voices and
the most active vocalist of the contemporary Latin American jazz scene and
Esquire Magazine quotes " Beat Kaestli’s emergence as a vocalist bespeaks
a life full of experience. Like Jazz itself, his willingness to adapt and
improvise has given rise to a unique young man and artist." Magos and Beat
met in New York City a year ago and immediately felt a connection in each
other’s music and as artists in this vibrant Metropolis. Soon they
performed as guests at each other’s live shows and recordings. Now, Magos
and Beat will bring their exciting mix of Jazz, R&B and Latin rhythms to
Drom NYC, featuring vocal duets and songs from their current solo
projects.

classic jazz styling with Mexican, Cuban and Brazilian melodies. Based in
NYC since 2007, she has recorded with Saxophonist Tim Ries for the Rolling
Stones Jazz Project and for contemporary composer Paola Prestini for John
Zorn label. For over 10 years Magos has performed in international arts
centers, at festivals and concert halls such as Lincoln Center, NYC,

Mexico, Sala Galileo and Galilei in Madrid among others.
