de sertanejo, sino como una artista a
tener en cuenta en la música Brasileña
contemporánea.
Singer and songwriter Paula Fernandes'
triumph has been years in the making.
Born in the State of Minas Gerais (Brazil's
country music capital), Fernandes began
to sing when she was 8 years old, releasing her first album two years later. Since,
she toured the country for five years
with a company that produced rodeo
shows, went back to college (studying
geography), and found success when
her "Ave Maria Natureza," an arrangement of Schubert's "Ave Maria," became a
theme song in a popular telenovela. Last
year, with her warm, expressive voice
and engaging stage presence, apparent on her album Ao Vivo, Fernandes
broke through, not only as an important
sertanejo performer, but also as an artist
to reckon with in contemporary Brazilian
music. (FG)

en 2009, participando en el conocido
programa de la televisión italiana "Ti
Lascio Una Canzone". Después de cantar
"Sole Mio" en el festival de Sanremo, los
tres jóvenes eligieron llamarse Il Volo

A trio of classically trained teenagers
from Italy, Il Volo performs a brand of
operatic pop that has captured the
imagination of fans all over the world
- in a career that is just beginning and
yet has already resulted in two Latin
GRAMMY nominations. Piero Barone,
Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble
met in 2009 while participating in the
popular Italian televison show "Ti Lascio
Una Canzone" ("Leaving You With A
Song"). After performing "Sole Mio" at
Italy's Sanremo festival, the three young
men chose the name Il Volo ("flight")

album in London, co-produced by multiGRAMMY- and Latin GRAMMY-winning

La música de Sie7e es perfecta para las
tardes de verano. El cantautor llamado
David Rodríguez nació un 7 de julio
en Puerto Rico, y de ahí que proviene
su apodo numérico. Después de estudiar ingeniería de sonido en los Estados
Unidos, Sie7e creó un sonido relajado de
reggae con pop que recuerda las baladas
soleadas de Jack Johnson. Su tercer disco,
Mucha Cosa Buena, incluye el éxito "Tengo
Tu Love". Al compás de una guitarra acústica, Sie7e nos cuenta que pese a que no
puede vestir indumentaria de Versace o
bañarse en un Jacuzzi lleno de agua Evian,
se siente como un millonario gracias al
amor de su vida.
Sie7e makes music perfect for summer
afternoons. After all, the singer/songwriter
originally named David Rodríguez was
born on July 7, in Puerto Rico, hence the
seven-centric name. After studying sound
engineering in the United States, Sie7e
has forged a relaxed reggae-inflected
pop sound that recalls Jack Johnson's
sunny balladry. By 2006, he released an
eponymous debut album. Currently, his
third release, Mucha Cosa Buena, features
the hit single "Tengo Tu Love." Accompanied by sanguine acoustic rhythm guitar,
Sie7e sings about how he may not be able
to wear clothes by Versace or soak in a
Jacuzzi filled with Evian, but he feels like a
rich man with the love of his life. (SK)
