A brilliant exponent of a new generation of Argentinean Nuevo Tango performers. Her style traces the musical roots of her native Buenos Aires in a Jazz-influenced setting.
Katie Viqueira has been hailed as "a hot Tango star" and a "Diva" by the Boston Globe, a recognition founded in a long and successful career that started many years ago in her hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Her vast experience as a singer includes working with many of Argentina's leading artists, international bands such as Air Supply, performing live in radio and TV, and touring throughout Latin America, Europe and the US. She was awarded twice in the prestigious OTI song festival (Contest of the Iberoamerican Television Organization.)
Since she moved to Boston in 1997, she has become "one of the most visible Tango singers" (Boston Globe) based in the US. Viqueira's unique style integrates the musical roots of her native Buenos Aires in a Jazz-influenced setting. According to the critics, Katie Viqueira has an "uncanny ability to synthesize seemingly disparate genres;" her music "successfully juxtaposes modern improvisational influences with an awareness of the dramatic and poetic elements of Argentine tango and folklore" (Jazz Now). Her music has been characterized as having "just the right amount of passion and highly sophisticated arrangements" (Jazzpodium).
On stage, Viqueira's performing style creates a delicate but energetic atmosphere, establishing an intense emotional connection with the audience that spectators recognize and reward in every show. She is able to deploy an incredibly ample range of vocal resources that has not gone unnoticed. "At times she sounds tender, at others tough, at times radiating with tremendous erotic charm, at others her voice dances about on top of the music." (Jazzdimensions) "Ms.Vigueira has an original voice, dynamics, taste and is able to restrain her strong range (.) This singer has so much to offer and can reach your sensibilities so easily." (JazzZine) "The strongest instrument the group has is Ms. Viqueira's voice. She can vocalize with a delicate and airy touch, or excite and stir your emotions with powerful and focused inflections." (Muzikman)
In sum: "One of the most beautiful voices on the planet." (JazzZine).
Katie Viqueira has delighted audiences in Latin America, Europe and the U.S. Mrs. Viqueira was the featured soloist in the U.S. premiere of Astor Piazzolla's Tango-oratory "Pueblo Joven", receiving highest accolades for her performance with the Cosmopolitan Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Pablo Zinger at NYC's Town Hall Theater. |
