A voice that stands out

Courage is precisely what singer Ester Andújar exudes as she takes on a repertoire of classic and modern jazz with a voice that has caught the attention of the most refined musicians. She showcases this in Tristeza de Amar. — Jorge Alcalde, Muy Interesante, May 2003
Jazz expertise

"A beautiful and well-trained voice that embraces pop colors while demonstrating jazz knowledge and doesn’t shy away from improvisation, as evidenced by the two sparkling scat sequences she delivered at the end of her performance." — Juanma Játiva, El País, VI Jazz Week UPV
