Silvana Estrada, the acclaimed singer-songwriter from Veracruz, Mexico, reunited with members of the LA Phil for a special appearance on the late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!

She performed “Dime,” the soul-stirring song about heartbreak and rage from her 2025 album Vendrán Suaves Lluvias.

“During my last one, two, three years, I’ve been dealing with really beautiful things, really awful, really intense… like, sad perdidas (losses) in my life,” Estrada explained to Tigre Sounds. Prior to writing “Dime,” she said, “I remember being very, very, very angry at that time, and I was not able to process my own enojo, my own rage.”

Estrada’s distress infiltrated her dreams where tigers, snakes, and other animals began appearing all over her home: “I remember my therapist telling me, all those animals you’re afraid of, it’s also you being afraid of feeling angry about whatever is happening in your life. It’s uncomfortable… so I think ‘Dime’ was my attempt to connect with my anger from a beautiful point of view. I’m completely entregada a la vida buena, no? After being angry.”
