Angie Paola
Born in Arequipa, Peru, Angie grew up watching musical films that sparked her lifelong passion for the stage. From an early age, she knew that music was her calling, even understanding the challenges of pursuing that dream abroad. Two years ago, she arrived in the United States with a suitcase full of dreams and determination to make them come true.
At sixteen, she began performing and immersing herself in the world of music and live shows. Today, she embraces this new chapter with Pasión Orquesta, sharing her talent and joy through salsa, cumbia, merengue, and other Latin rhythms that make audiences dance and celebrate life.
Jacqueline Benitez
Born in Medellín, Colombia, Jacqueline grew up in a family of musicians who inspired her deep passion for music from an early age. She earned her formal music degrees from the Conservatorio de Bellas Artes in Medellín and George Mason University in Virginia.
Her musical journey began in Cali, Colombia, as part of the renowned Orquesta Canela, where she refined her skills as a pianist and performer. Later, in Florida, she became part of the band of legendary salsa artist Eddie Santiago, expanding her professional career on an international level.
Since 2024, Jacqueline has been the pianist of Hermanos Galván & Orquesta, bringing elegance, rhythm, and sophistication to every performance. Today, she also joins the newly formed Pasión Orquesta, continuing to showcase her artistry, discipline, and love for Latin music while proudly representing the excellence of her Colombian roots.
Zamira Rodriguez
Born in Colombia, Zamira was raised on rhythm, passion, and perseverance. Music runs through her veins — she is the daughter of multi-Grammy-winning trombonist Alberto Rodríguez (Grupo Niche, Los Titanes de Colombia, and more) and Jacqueline Benítez, former Orquesta Canela member and current pianist of Hermanos Galván & Orquesta and Pasión Orquesta.
A fun fact: Zamira was part of Hermanos Galván & Orquesta back in 2016 for about a year, marking one of her first experiences performing with a professional Latin band.
Today, as an artist and entrepreneur, she combines her natural stage presence with a deep creative drive, representing a new generation of Latin talent. With every performance, she brings charisma, confidence, and the determination to keep building her own empire — one dream at a time. 💫
