Adriana Varela

Adriana Varela was born in Buenos Aires, and is regarded as one of the main Argentinean tango singers of the modern era, even admired by many non-tango listeners
She not sings beautifully, but she is sensual as we – both physically and personally
In 1991 her career began with a side called ‘Tangos’
In 1993 she launched her second album ‘Maquillaje’ in which the signer Roberto Goyeneche and the pianist Virgilio Expsito perform – she was awarded a Premio ACE award for this album two years in a row
Ironically there was some very strong resistance to her from tango ‘traditionalists’
Between 1991 and 1996 she recorded three more albums, the last of which (Tango En Vivo) was recorded live at the Coliseo Theatre in Buenos Aires
She also performed a recital in the woods of Palermo before 50000 people
Between 1996 and 1998 she participated in famous tango festivals – including La Mar De Músicas in Cartagena, the Porto Alegre festival, and the Grec Festival in Barcelona – at the latter she got a standing ovation lasting several minutes
She participated in singing in the group Bajofondo
She also had some minor roles in movies
Varela created the musical opening for the movie ‘Tango’
She had a strong left-wing political position
She is regarded as a very sought-after star and best seller in Argentina
Varela appears often in Buenos Aires venues
All in all she has released 7 albums between 1991 and 2006
