Vanessa Verduga ("La Verduga") is a multi-faceted artist who brings a much needed feminine gravitas to the often male-dominated urban Latino genre. It would seem almost serendipitous for a woman whose last name means “executioner” to be the one cutting through. She is creating a space with her sound and sending a message of empowerment with her lyrics while finding a groove and making you dance to the Latin sounds of reggaeton, moombahton and bachata.
