Ixya Herrera

Winter session, for me, is now over. Knowing that I just finished a semester class in two weeks is just awesome. I am so glad to have taken Professor Herrera’s Regional Music of Mexico class. He is such a great professor, and you can tell that he is very passionate about music. He even brought his daughter Ixya Herrara to sing for us on Wednesday.

It was truly amazing to listen to Ixya sing live. I have listened to her singing on recordings since it was required in class, but listening to her live was a different experience altogether. She has such a soft spoken voice when she speaks, but when she sings, it really comes out at you. It just sounds so angelic and bold. There really isn’t any strain in her voice either. You can tell that she takes care of her voice, and that is very important for a singer.
