RECORDINGS
In 2019, her debut album Reflexiones De Mi Mente showcased a unique perspective,
merging cumbia, funk, reggae, reggaeton, and hip-hop into a resonating sound. Since
then, she has consistently released singles with hits such as “Suavecito Suavecito”, “No Mames Bro”, and “Cumbia Atomica”. In 2024, she co-released an EP with Asdru Sierra (singer/trumpeter from Grammy-Award winning Ozomatli) entitled Cumbias For Lovers.
This EP featured romantic classics such as Peaches and Herb’s “Reunited” and Parton and Rogers’ “Islands in the Stream” rearranged with Asdru and Adelaide’s signature urban cumbia sound.
Aside from releasing music recordings, Adelaide has also been producing her own music videos, some of which have won awards and been nominated as finalists for various independent film festivals.

Beyond solo efforts, Adelaide flourished with the Grammy Award-winning Mariachi Divas, gained prominence on LA VOZ Mexico 2018, toured with Andy Grammer, and collaborated with multi-Grammy Award-winning Ozomatli. She’s also performed backup for artists such as Albita, Maluma, La Lupe, Ana Barbara, Barbara Mason, La India, and Lupita Infante.

In 2022, she partnered with Asdru Sierra (member of Ozomatli), producing music and starting their own record label: Chido Records. Aside from their own projects, they are also writing and recording with Salvador Santana’s new album in the works, (musical artist and son of legend Carlos Santana), multimedia projects, performing, acting, singing and recording on an upcoming musical, “Pasaje”, which features comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias and actor Ignacio Serrichio.

Adelaide has spent many years performing and working in the corporate music scene. She has also been a Latin music icon for the Disneyland Park Resort since 2014, and at Knott’s Berry Farm since 2017. Creating so many shows for such diverse audiences, Adelaide naturally fell into show production. She created 2 tribute bands of her own: a Selena Tribute and a Latin Divas Tribute: a tribute to Gloria Estefan, Celia Cruz, and Selena. These shows have been booked extensively throughout the Midwest and the West Coast. In 2020, she became the Show's Production Manager for the Concertize Co. There, she created Latin tribute shows in cities across the country for Fever’s Latin Candlelight Series. These shows consisted of local musicians paying homage to artists such as Juan Gabriel, Jose Jose, and Luis Miguel, as well as some special Day of the Dead Shows. After creating a pool of bands and musicians to pull from, she began her music consulting company, Chido Entertainment, which consults with and provides companies and individuals with live music entertainment. Her specialty is various forms of Latin music.

Adelaide also nurtures many artists' talents and takes great interest in music education
for grade school and college students. With a Master’s Degree in music, she has experience with school band (elementary through high school), college lectures, and private instruction for singing, piano, trumpet, and trombone.

Adelaide Pilar continues pushing boundaries and performing extensively. Her journey is an inspiring celebration of heritage and artistic innovation that all can enjoy.
