Cross-genre, bilingual singer-songwriter Lourdes Pita began playing guitar at just nine years old, guided by her mother, the internationally acclaimed poet Juana Rosa Pita. Now based in the Boston area, Lourdes has established herself as a gifted performer, arranger, and producer.

After leaving behind classical flute studies to follow her passion for songwriting, she cut her teeth in Miami’s vibrant music scene before launching her solo career in 1986. From intimate New England pubs to opening slots for celebrated artists including Patty Larkin and Livingston Taylor, she built a loyal following and went on to release three albums that sold out quickly.

A fixture in Boston’s music community, Lourdes found success not only in local clubs but also as a captivating street performer in Harvard Square, Cambridge. Her 1994 single “Now is the Time” earned international airplay on commercial radio throughout Europe, including Spain and Prague, and became the most requested track on Boston’s influential WERS.

Producing her own acclaimed records—including 2001’s In Control—Lourdes has consistently woven themes of hope, love, and peace throughout her work. In 2022, she released her first all-Spanish album, Lamento Cubano, a deeply personal collection blending originals with a classic Cuban folk song, honoring her family’s heritage and exile. The album soared to #1 in college chart downloads and reached #30 on the commercial Latin charts.

With songs licensed for television and film worldwide for over three decades, Lourdes Pita continues to craft music that resonates across cultures and generations.
