Quotes about Laura“From Noche to Night de Laura Otero es un gran disco, lleno de matices y colores que no conocen fronteras. Se devela poco a poco y da la certeza de estar escuchando la piedra fundamental de una brillante carrera musical.” Translation: "Laura Otero's From ‘Noche to Night’ is a great album, full of tones and colors that have no boundaries. It reveals itself little by little and provides you with certainty that you’re listening to the cornerstone of a brilliant musical career."
"Laura Otero composes and sings beautiful songs informed by the best musical traditions in Latin America and the jazz world. Her music and her performances, with some of the best musicians in Austin, are always full of passion, drama, and rhythm. When you see her perform you witness the power of music to transform a person and a room." "Laura Otero sings with a bright and musical soul, offering a cross-cultural dance of emotion." , “Precioso tu color de voz, afinación, repertorio fresco y original.” Translation: “The color of your voice, your intonation, and your fresh and original repertoire are precious.”
About her vocal arrangement on John Jairo Torres de la Pava's composition "El Navegante":
Translation: “I felt very excited to listen to your version [of "El Navegante"]. You are very creative and have a wonderful voice. I hope to see you very soon in contests and festivals, where we urgently need performers like you. Congratulations and thanks for having my songs in your repertoire.”
About her Album Atrás:
"Todo se resume a un día de grabación: 11 de julio. Todo se resume a decir que esta es una de esas grabaciones de jazz, o de exploraciones donde la voz es quien se acompaña con una guitarra y no es una radiografía, es una fotografía que bien puede ser el reflejo de ese espíritu creativo de un momento particular donde además la experiencia personal es lo que cuenta; pocos son muchos. Muchos son todo y son los elegidos." Translation: “Everything comes down to the recording day: July 11th. Everything comes down to say that this is one of those jazz recordings, or exploration recordings, where the voice is being accompanied by a guitar. It is not a radiography, it is a photography that can reflect the creative spirit of a particular moment, where the personal experience is what counts; few are many. Many are everything, and are the chosen ones.”
“Un disco bonito, con una voz bonita y un guitarrista bastante aplicado. Son canciones que no pasan desapercibidas.” Translation: “A beautiful album, with a beautiful voice and a very dedicated guitarist. Songs that don’t go unnoticed.”
