“Canciónes Sobre La Vida y La Muerte”
“Canciónes Sobre La Vida y La Muerte” was released in January 2024 with favorable reviews from the press:
“Piano strung onto Andrés Salguero's whimsical clarinet, Garza's OG enunciation – a Spanish from our grandparents – weaves into subtle orchestration and the seasons of love: yesterday, yesteryear, tomorrow's nostalgia.” — Raoul Hernandez, Austin Chronicle
Leti Garza, an award-winning singer-songwriter, pianist, bandleader, performer, producer and recording artist based in Austin, Texas, weaves a captivating tapestry of sound and emotion with her unique blend of Latin, folk, and global music. Born and raised in the Lone Star State, and influenced by legends such as Eva Garza, Celia Cruz, Tracy Chapman and Carole King, for not only their talent, but their activism and maverick spirits.

She began her musical journey at a young age studying dance, visual art, music and musical theater at Houston’s High School for the Performing & Visual Arts. She was a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, and a professional dancer with the nationally acclaimed American Deaf Dance and Sharir Dance Company while attending the university.
Leti is not only passionate about her music, but she is also a dedicated community activist, using her platform to increase awareness and support for social, cultural and environmental causes, with award recognition by the Texas Music Museum for contributions to international star and Aunt, Eva Garza with her first album, La Americana (2012), and by the Global Response Management for bringing awareness to the ongoing suffering of migrants at the Texas/Mexico border with her album Borderland (2020).
