JUNO Award-winning Quique Escamilla is a Mayan-Zapotec singer-songwriter born and raised in Chiapas, Mexico. He is an international touring artist and producer based in Toronto, Canada.  

Quique breaks down language barriers with his voice and passionate performances, fusing traditional Mexican and Pan-American rhythms and sounds, such as ranchera, huapango and cumbia, with contemporary folk, rock and blues elements.  

Escamilla’s songs are crafted with bold political statements, exemplary musicianship, and compelling stories representing the world’s current times and struggles. His songs elevate the voices of Indigenous Peoples who continue to rise above the impact of colonization and racism across the Americas, from Canada to Argentina. Quique explains, “Each performance is an opportunity to stimulate the human conscience and intellect and has the potential to help effect positive change in our world.”
