International singing sensation TERE LUNA began her professional singing career in 2005 after many years of study and dedication. But even before becoming a professional singer, Tere nurtured her artistic talents at an early age while growing up in her native México. These talents were always very connected with family and the beauty and richness of Mexican culture. Tere often recalls the family gatherings where great music, food, and traditions served as breeding ground for her artistic aspirations. There she learned romantic songs that sparked her imagination and profound passion for music and dance. Even then, she dreamt of being a performer; this motivated her to study voice and dance.

Tere Luna enjoys most musical genres, but the romantic BOLERO is her genre of preference. When asked about her passion for this romantic genre, Tere says, “the Bolero is a key to the deepest emotions of one’s soul. Its musical cadence and lyrics also have a way of evoking the most romantic and pleasant memories of love. The Bolero celebrates life and love in both its happiest and saddest of moments.” It is in this genre of Latin American music and song that Tere has gained a unique expressive talent which, coupled with a warm, captivating, and romantic voice, has brought her great acclaim among audiences in the United States, Puerto Rico, and her beloved México.
When asked about the composers and singers who inspired her, she alludes to such great Mexican composers as Armando Manzanero, Álvaro Carrillo, Roberto Cantoral, Consuelo Velázquez, Maria Grever, and José Antonio Méndez, among others, as well as such iconic interpreters as Guadalupe Pineda, Chavela Vargas, Los Panchos, Vicki Carr, José José, Juan Gabriel, and Luis Miguel, among others. But Tere is also quick to proudly mention her father, Erasmo Luna—himself a composer of romantic bolero songs—as a source of great inspiration and support. She is currently planning to record one of her father’s compositions as a future CD single.

Over the past five years, Tere has raised her artistic profile with two recording projects. Her first CD single – Sin tu amor muere mi alma (PIRAM Records) – was released in 2017 and is now streamed in numerous digital distribution and streaming platforms worldwide. But her lifelong dream came to fruition in the summer of 2021 when she recorded, and later in October of that year, released her first full-length CD, Romántica under the independent record label Luna Records Ltd. with worldwide distribution through Alternativa Representa in México.

Tere has performed extensively in the United States, Puerto Rico, and México, most notably at the 2016 Latino de Oro Awards in Connecticut (U.S.A.), where she was also the recipient of the award that year; at the International Festival of Arts and Ideas (also in Connecticut) during the festival’s Altar d’Spaces series in 2017; and, most recently at the prestigious La Cueva de Rodrigo de la Cadena in México City in the summer of 2021. She has also performed at numerous Latino music festivals and cultural celebrations as well as private events and festivities in the U.S. Northeast. In January 2022, Tere released her second music video entitled “Historia de un amor,” in which she sings one of the iconic bolero songs featured in her new CD Romántica.

Tere has been featured in numerous newspaper articles in Connecticut (U.S.A.), including Identidad Latina, the Wallingford Record Journal, and the Arts Paper, among others. Check PRESS on the website for a full listing of press clips.

Tere Luna has also been recognized by the Consulate of México in New York City for her outstanding contributions in disseminating Mexican music and culture in the United States of America.
