Say Hello to: Holly Holden

We are happy to announce the new addition to the AudioMaze family: Holly Holden

Holly Holden is a singer and songwriter from London whose long-term love affair with Latin America and the Caribbean – and many years spent music-making in the region – have shaped her signature Spanglish tropical soul sound.

Holly formed electric trio ‘Holly Holden y Su Banda’ in 2015 with whom she recorded and independently released 6 track EP Tropical Soul (2017) and her debut album Green Guava (2020). Together they performed at major UK music festivals including Glastonbury, Greenman and Boomtown as well as festivals in Europe, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and New York.

Since returning to London in 2022, after a time spent living in Mexico City, Holly has been working on a new album – al andar – with multi-instrumentalist and producer Greg Sanders (Juanita Euka). Composed on a cuatro and written mostly in Mexico and Colombia, this record has a more acoustic, folkloric sound and features some of the most respected and talented artists in the London Latin music scene including Luzmira Zerpa (Family Atlántica), accordion prodigy Hernando Arias and percussionists Will Fry (Jungle), Ernesto Marichales (New Regency Orchestra) and Fabio Moreno (Babo Moreno). Al Andar is due to be released in 2025.

Stay tuned as the first singles of her upcoming album will be released soon!

You can also support this project directly via this Kickstarter campaign and be the first to receive a Vinyl or CD from Al Andar!
