Alejandra Robles is a talented Oaxacan singer who performs a mix of dance music and Mexican folk. Alejandra was born and raised in the beautiful town of Puerto Escondido in coastal Oaxaca. Puerto Escondido is known throughout Mexico for its happy and festive culture, which heavily influenced Alejandra's music. Alejandra took classes in contemporary dance at the school of Fine Arts of Oaxaca and then went to the School of Music at the Universidad Veracruzana, where she majored in Opera while also studying African and tap dance. Her powerful voice reflects her training in Opera but her style is traditional Mexican with a rhythmic flare.
Drawing on her Afro-Mexican roots, Latin American folk-music, Caribbean rhythms and her Opera studies at the Paris Conservatory, singer and dancer Alejandra Robles delivers captivating performances with charismatic vivacity.
