In spite of many successful engagements
with opera companies in Europe and the United States, Soledad Berrios
never lost touch with the music of Latin America. Ultimately it is in
this music where she feels she is best able to share and demonstrate
all the dramatic power of expression in her dark, velvety voice.
|
| In her vast repertoire, Soledad Berrios demonstrates a rich musical spectrum with original and beautifully arranged themes of traditional Latin American Folklore and sensual Boleros. However her strongest emotional and musical expression is reached when she sings Tango. In all she sings there is always a haunting and melancholy timbre which goes deep into the heart of the listener. |

In Europe she has sung in festivals in Berlin, Hamburg, Avignon, Helsinki and Lisbon. Her recent concerts include performances in the Hamburg Musikhalle and in the renowned "Tränenpalast" in Berlin. CD recordings include "Ausencia" recorded by Horizonte in Santiago, Chile and "Tangos & Boleros", recorded in the NDR Studios in Hamburg, Germany. Recordings for a third CD are in progress. |
