From Buenos Aires to Brooklyn, Juana Luna is a cantora, songwriter, and community artist. Rooted in South American music, her work weaves together folklore, boleros, tango, and other global influences, shaped by her distinctive voice and interpretive depth.
Her most recent release, Canciones en Blanco y Negro (Folkalist Records), explores acoustic textures and reinterpretation, tracing a personal path between traditional and contemporary forms. The work has been presented at venues such as Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium and The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
As a teaching artist, Luna is the lead facilitator of CoLab at National Sawdust, a songwriting, production, and art-making program for middle school students that culminates in an interdisciplinary performance.
Alongside her performance work, Luna maintains a longstanding practice in early childhood music. With over a decade of experience, she creates immersive, music-driven experiences for young audiences, including contributions to Carnegie Hall productions such as Huddle and Camille’s Rainbow. Her approach integrates live performance, improvisation, and sensory storytelling.
She is also an active collaborator in Carnegie Hall’s Big Note Little Note and The Lullaby Project, working with families and fellow artists to explore music as a tool for connection, creativity, and care.
