Diana Gameros: I Am Home: A Musical Reflection on Love, Migration and Identity

For an evening of Latin-influenced indie pop and folk, Diana Gameros shares original compositions inspired by her life as an immigrant, her constant search for “home” and by the stories of others she met along her journey.

Originally from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Diana Gameros is a singer, songwriter, and music instructor. Gameros creates authentic, inspiring music that reflects the 21st century experiences of a young indie artist at the borderlands between cultures, languages, and genres. Now living in the Bay Area, Diana has played with many local favorites, including the Oakland East Bay Symphony, and has opened concerts for Bebel Gilberto, Latin Grammy winner La Santa Cecilia, Latin Grammy nominee Ximena Sariñana, and many others. In 2013, Diana released her first album Eterno Retorno, a soulful retrospective of her journey as an immigrant. In October of 2014, she received the Emerging Leader Award from the Chicana/Latina Foundation for her work in music and her support for social justice movements. Diana is currently working on writing music for her second album, which will be produced by Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade.
