ABOUT ROSALBA
Rosalba Valdez is a Mexican-American musician from Chicago. Regularly singing and playing her guitar for Sunday church services, community events, rallies, and protests, from the age of five, Rosalba grew up in an environment of activism and community engagement, all while finding her music had as much place in the movement for social justice as it did anywhere else. Rosalba learned that she could speak out about the injustices in her community and stay true to her identity all while pursuing her passion.
The name of her debut EP, “Yo Soy Mexicana,” comes from the immense pride Rosalba has for being Mexican-American born of immigrant parents. Her new single, "LUCHA DE FAMILIAS," reflects different stories in the immigrant community in the US and calls on her community to stand united. Her upcoming performances, such as at Pilsen Fest on September 17, will include this song, fitting for Mexican Independence Day and Latinx Heritage Month.
