Manuela Sánchez-Goubert

Manuela Sánchez Goubert is a Colombian vocalist and composer whose music blends jazz with Latin American folk traditions, creating a sound both cosmopolitan and deeply rooted. Born and raised in Colombia, she moved to New York City as a teenager to study Vocal Jazz at LaGuardia High School, mentored by Lucía Pulido and Lauren Kinhan. She graduated from Berklee College of Music with dual majors in Latin American Music Performance and Music Production & Engineering, and was part of the Berklee Global Jazz Institute led by Danilo Pérez. Inspired by Violeta Parra, Susana Baca, and Cécile McLorin Salvant, she merges tradition with modern jazz.
