Anjali Silva is recognized globally as one of the most “graceful and energetic vocal stylists”. A Mexican-Portuguese American, Anjali grew up in the culturally diverse San Francisco Bay Area. Her proficiency of world music genres: Brazilian, American jazz, Latin American and East Indian vocals, allow her to create universally appealing music. Her pristine and soulful voice has been compared to Gloria Estefan and Flora Purim. In 2018 Anjali performed at the prestigious Black Box Jazz Series at The Washington Center for Performing Arts.
