Leandra Gold is the musical project of Colombian-born, Canadian-based cellist and songwriter Natalia Bohórquez. After building a career in classical music, she moved to Canada in 2018, exchanging the energy of a big city for the quiet and vastness of Canada's East Coast.
When the path she had devoted herself to was no longer within reach, she began writing songs, finding a new voice in the cello she had spent a lifetime mastering.
Born out of uprooting, solitude, and transformation, her music is an intimate encounter with contrasting and deeply felt emotions. The distance from the life she once knew, the isolation of small-town living, and the vastness of snow-covered landscapes became the raw material for her songwriting.
Her sound brings together the warmth and movement of her Colombian roots, the expansiveness of Canadian landscapes, and the cultural and linguistic intersections of a migrant life. Sung across multiple languages, her songs trace the portrait of someone living between worlds, searching for a place to call home in the spaces in between.
