Liliana Zavala is an Argentinian-born vocalist, percussionist, composer and producer based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Her artistic practice moves across ritual music, Afro-Latin American traditions and contemporary folk, creating a powerful and personal musical language where voice and rhythm are inseparable.

Alongside her work for stage and performance, Liliana Zavala composes music for visual narratives, where rhythm, voice and texture support storytelling, atmosphere and emotional depth.

She has been nominated for the Swedish Grammys (Grammi), including Folk Music of the Year 2023 for her album Todos Mis Muertos, and was awarded Rhythm of the Year 2023 at the Manifest Gala.

She has also received the SKAP Award and has been nominated at the Swedish Folk & World Music Gala.
Described by SKAP as “one of the most innovative and norm-breaking creative forces of the modern Swedish folk scene,”Zavala’s work challenges genre boundaries and creates spaces where ritual, memory and contemporary expression coexist.

Her three albums form a connected artistic trilogy exploring belonging, memory and transformation.

Cabildo reflects on origins and community; Todos Mis Muertos engages with remembrance, death and ritual; and FE, her upcoming third album scheduled for release in 2026, completes the cycle by focusing on transformation and spiritual resilience. Several singles from FE have already been released, offering an early insight into this evolving work.
