About me
Lara Manzanares is a bilingual singer-songwriter from Northern New Mexico. She grew up singing the traditional New Mexican boleros, rancheras, and corridos of her sheep-ranching childhood, and composes her own style of music in both English and Spanish. Through a combination of storytelling and songs both playful and sincere, Lara draws on her roots as she sings about love, loss, a sense of place, and her own connection to the land. Following on her well-received first album, Land Baby, she is releasing a new album in 2025. When she’s not out singing or helping on the ranch, you can find Lara on her Rio Grande loom, weaving tapestries with yarn from her family’s Churro sheep.
