Maritzaida Amador known professionally as Maritzaida, is a Puerto Rican singer best known for performing and recording bolero music as an artist on Charlie Hunter's "SideHustle Records" recording label, a sub-label of The Orchard.[1] She has also been recognized by actress Sharon Riley Rexach as a torchbearer of her mother Sylvia Rexach's music for her authentic interpretation of Rexach's compositions.
Early life and education
[edit]Maritzaida was born and raised in the small coastal town of Isabela, Puerto Rico; she grew up in a blended family and was largely raised by her grandparents.[2]At a young age, Maritzaida was introduced to the work of one of Puerto Rico's most famous female authors, Sylvia Rexach, and became enthralled with bolero music.[3]
Professional career
[edit]Maritzaida's professional music career began in 2012 as the singer for the United States Air Force Heritage of America Band in Hampton, Virginia.[4]During her time with the United States Air Force Heritage of America Band, she performed with guitarist Jake Cinninger of the band Umphrey's McGee alongside her husband, Dr. Aaron Weibe, on lead guitar.[5]
In November, 2022, Maritzaida's bolero music was noticed by Charlie Hunter after recording a demo with her husband, and drummer George Sluppick of the Robert Cray Band.[6]
In March, 2023, Maritzaida recorded her first two albums: Boleros Clásicos Volumen Uno and Boleros Clásicos Volumen Dos. Both albums were produced by Charlie Hunter, released on SideHustle Records and distributed through The Orchard, and featured AJ Weibe on guitar, Lowell Ringel on the double bass, and José Carrasquillo on the Puerto Rican cuatro.[7]
In 2023, her music was selected by Steve Berlin of the popular band Los Lobos who was serving as the Music Supervisor for the movie, A Little Family Drama, directed by Nadia Zoe, starring Alma Martine, Romi Dias, and Jeff Meacham.[8]
In 2024, Maritzaida released Alma Adentro: La Musica de Sylvia Rexach y Tuti Umpierre. The album is a recreation of the original 1958 album by Rexach and Umpierre and was produced by AJ Weibe with him also accompanying Maritzaida on guitar; it was released on SideHustle Records. This album helped connect her to Rexach's daughter, actress Sharon Riley. The two are collaborating on recording unreleased and unpublished material by Rexach and Umpierre.
