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 elements of folk, rock and blues.

Escamilla brand new songs are crafted with bold political statements accompanied with fine musicianship and compelling stories that represent the world’s current times and struggles. His upcoming single Resistiendo elevates 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."

"Quique represents a modern version of a Pan-American Troubadour fusing traditional Mexican styles such ranchera and huapango with rock, reggae, done in an unassuming way, built upon solid musicianship…"
–Marc Fournier, SONGLINES Magazine, UK.

“Modern day troubadour Quique Escamilla makes music that comes straight from the soul. The stories he tells are the stories we need to hear; socially and politically conscious lyrics paired with exceptional musicianship. He’s a unique talent who holds to the traditions of heavyweights like Bob Marley and Manu Chao. Quique is really one to watch!”
–Garvia Bailey, CBC Radio Canada.
