In 1991, Alina Ramirez, a Mexican pianist and composer, initiated a project that combined her upbringing in traditional Latin music, formal training in classical music, and influences from jazz and contemporary styles. With a team of esteemed musicians in Mexico, she has showcased her music in festivals and clubs.
Having been based in Singapore for 23 years, Alina continues to explore a fusion of afro Latin rhythms such as danzonete, son, bomba, samba, bossa nova, Mexican and Cuban folkloric music with a contemporary touch.
She has performed in major festivals and clubs throughout the region.
No tickets will be issued. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Alina Ramirez
Pianist, Composer, Educator and Cultural promoter.
A classically trained (National school of music in Mexico City), hard core Latin pianist who loves jazz, Alina has been performing for more than 35 years.
As a composer she is influenced by both Latin music tradition and the contemporary. She writes music for Ireson, her band as well as for theatre and dance companies. Alina is also a creative educator who studied musical education in Lyon, France. She is immensely passionate about sharing knowledge across genres.
In 2013, Alina was awarded the highest recognition given by the Mexican Government—the Ohtli Medal—in recognition for her passion in spreading the Mexican culture and the arts worldwide.
An avid learner, Alina sought to expand her musical knowledge at Lasalle College of the Arts by pursuing a degree in jazz music. She graduated with honours in 2014 and obtained a Masters degree in Arts and Cultural Management in 2018.
In 2019 she founded the Singapore Latin American Arts and Cultural center with the aim of boosting cultural exchanges. She currently teaches piano at international schools such as NLCS, Brighton college and AIS.
