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’

• She also performed a recital in the woods of Palermo before 50000 people

• 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

• All in all she has released 7 albums between 1991 and 2006
