Estaire Godinez

A smoldering vocalist and ace percussionist, the Oakland, California–born Mexican American has recorded more than sixty albums. From stints with Prince to Coke Escovedo to the Brothers Johnson, Estaire Godinez has proven herself a stylistic chameleon capable of wearing dozens of musical hats. Most recently on tour with jazz guitarist George Benson, she effortlessly combines conga beats with a fusion of jazz, pop, and Brazilian/Afro-Cuban in her most recent album, Live from the Dakota.
