"this multi-talented Boricua from the Bronx conjures up another hex with her debut album which features both hip-hop and reggaeton..... unmatched lyrical skills allow her to move gracefully between Spanish, English and Spanglish, making La Bruja's metamorphosis into a respected MC seem effortless..... this first effort hypnotizes...."

 - NY DAILY NEWS

"(La Bruja) is being billed as "reggaeton" but actually her Spanglish 'mixtape' Brujalicious (mixed by DJ Precision of The X-ecutioners; featuring contributions from Jadakiss, Tony Touch, The Jungle Brothers, and B-Real of Cypress Hill) is funnier, sprightlier and less self-defeatingly bullying than most music given said designation; it bubbles those bomba beats...."

 - THE VILLAGE VOICE

"Inhabiting a cross section of somewhere between intellectual goddess, streetwise shortie and old school witchcraft, La Bruja is an enchantress of the highest caliber - stirring up a plenty pot of poetry and music and a steaming hot agenda for social change."

 - URBAN LATINO

"La Bruja definitely worked her magic on Brujalicious as only she can do. The Boogie-Rican captivates the listener with her brujeria, delivering her supernatural poetic skills and leaving one in desperate need of a santero's help. La Bruja is on fire, her fiery lyrics leave her fans with permanent third-degree burns on their minds"

 - FUEGO MAGAZINE

“her skills on the mic — she drops poetic and lyric bombas —have earned her a following from the South Bronx to San Francisco to San Juan”

 - VIBE MAGAZINE

"Bronx Born Caridad De La Luz has been gathering force like a storm, in the guise of La Bruja, for several years. Now it seems that the beloved star of Boogie-Rican Boulevard is about to blow up"

  - NY POST

“La Bruja is reciprocity and karma; strong, radiant, prosperous vibes, layer after layer.”

  - STRESS MAGAZINE

"In a packed New York reggaeton scene, this artist stands out by keeping her genre's trademark hard, skipping beat but omitting the surfeit of kitschy sound effects and throwaway lyrics. As a result, we can really hear her voice, and it's a good one: strong and clear, belting Spanish and English with equal aplomb."

  - DOWNLOAD.COM

"La Bruja is an extremely talented all around artist who is not just jumping on the music bandwagon, she was doing Reggaeton before it even became popular, there's no limit to what she's capable of; La Bruja’s time is coming!"

 -  BOY WONDER - PRODUCER OF THE CHOSEN FEW - REGGAETON DOCUMENTARY & COMPILATION (WHICH HIT #1 ON THE BILLBOARD LATIN ALBUM CHART)

LA BRUJA IN THE MOVIES:

Check out La Bruja as Lucy Negron in the Sundance Award Winning Film "Down To The Bone":

DOWN TO THE BONE directed by........DEBRA GRANIK starring........Vera Farmiga, Hugh Dillon, Clint Jordan, Caridad “La Bruja” De La Luz, Jasper Moon Daniels & Taylor Foxhall

In DOWN TO THE BONE, Irene is a working class mother living in upstate New York. She struggles to keep her marriage together and raise two sons while keeping her cocaine addiction a secret. After a series of nearly fatal mishaps, and finally hoping to make a change in her life, she decides to check herself into a rehab center. She knows kicking the habit would be tough, but the experience proves even more difficult than she could have anticipated. There’ she meets and falls in love with a fellow reformed addict. When one of them falls into a relapse with the addiction, their commitment to staying clean, and to each other, shatters. This beautifully wrought film accurately and authentically explores the wrenching road of recovery without ever resorting to histrionics.

“DOWN TO THE BONE has the unpredictability of life....”

-Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“...a gifted cast and cinematographer. The pent-up emotions and disappointments simmering are expressed with magnificent quietude” -Robert Koehler, Variety
