“Drawing from their diverse roots across Chile, Colombia, and Australia, the band takes a fresh, multicultural approach to mariachi.” — Rolling Stone AU/NZ
With a mission to empower women in music, Queen of Hearts is making waves across Australia. Recently featured in Rolling Stone AU/NZ, the band is redefining tradition with a fresh, genre-blending sound. Featuring a cross-cultural all-female line-up, they’re pioneering the fusion of the Mexican Mariachi tradition with a unique contemporary twist of folk, blues, pop, and Latin styles — performing both original music and traditional classics in Spanish and English.
These fiercely talented musicians from Latin America and Australia never fail to captivate audiences with their four-part vocal harmonies and intricate arrangements. Bound by their passion for music, Queen of Hearts invites listeners to experience a vibrant blend of cultural melodies and heartfelt storytelling.
After touring extensively across Australia and performing at countless festivals and venues, the band is now launching their second studio album, Divina — a powerful collection of original songs written by Bonnie Smith, Rose Kavanagh, and Elizabeth Obando. These songs are inspired by real-life experiences and the everyday stories that connect them as women — a reflection of friendship, resilience, and the deep sisterhood that unites the band.
Founded by Colombian musician Elizabeth Obando, Queen of Hearts is made up of Bonnie Smith, Rose Kavanagh, Vanessa Estrada, and Sarah Camm — a collective of strong, creative women whose collaboration celebrates cultural roots, sisterhood, and the power of original music and female voices.
