8. How Music Crosses Borders – with Artist Nancy Sanchez
Show Notes

On this episode of Immigration Today! Angeline Chen interviews Nancy Sanchez, an award winning singer-song writer. Nancy is known for her interesting variety of styles ranging from jazz, mariachi, regional Mexican music, pop, and much more. Nancy is not your typical artist – she is bilingual, multi-cultural, and a strong advocate of immigrant and women’s rights. Her music is unique because she speaks about social justice, immigrants, and the issues they face, while thriving in often male-dominated music genres. Nancy is a 3 Time Winner of the Orange County Jazz and Latin Music Awards, a featured artist in Telemundo’s Acceso Total, and her song La Gran Civilizacion was selected in the top 10 songs of 2020 by NPR’s Alt. Latino. These are just a few of her accolades!

Nancy fell in love with music at a very young age. In this podcast she recounts her journey migrating to the United States from Toluca, Mexico and how this shaped her musical career. Because she is an immigrant, she feels the need to express her experiences and those of many others through her music. Not only does she perform – but she is also very involved in non-profit work that has a direct impact in uplifting migrant communities. Nancy uses her artistic talents to advocate against injustice and oppression and is a great example of what it means to use your voice for change.

You can follow Nancy on Instagram and Facebook and subscribe to her YouTube channel! Make sure to listen to her latest album La Gran Civilizacion on all platforms!
