Songs I Love: A tribute to the great divas of blues, jazz, and soul.

With 30 years of experience on stage, Cris López has established herself as one of the most powerful, versatile, and expressive voices of her generation. Trained in an international gospel choir and rooted in Chicago blues, her career spans blues, jazz, and soul with authenticity, elegance, and a deep connection to African American music.

In Songs I Love, Cris explores the great voices and compositions that have shaped history—from Ella Fitzgerald to Etta James, from Billie Holiday to Anita Baker—offering a tribute full of sensitivity, precision, and emotion. On stage, she guides the audience through a journey across time and genres, where styles evolve and influence one another, revealing part of music history and perhaps reflecting our own story as well.
