Soledad Pastorutti

Soledad "La Sole" Pastorutti (born October 12, 1980) is an Argentine folk singer, who brought the genre to the younger generations at the end of the 20th century, and the beginning of the 21st.

Her performance with her sister Natalia landed her a contract with Sony Music Argentina to record and release her first album, Poncho al Viento, that very same year.

She performed more concerts at the Teatro Gran Rex, and accompanied the Argentina national football team for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

In 1999 she became the protagonist of the movie Edad del Sol ("age of the Sun", also an anagram of her name), and recorded her fourth album, Yo sí Quiero a mi país ("I love my country"), this time in studios in Miami under the production of Cuban musician (and husband of Gloria Estefan) Emilio Estefan.

The album opened doors to other markets in, among others, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Mexico, the United States and Spain, in which she would embark on tour.

The movie was not as successful as expected, with Manuelita (an animated film based on a popular children's song) overshadowing and outperforming at the box office.

Soledad has released 16 albums, including acoustic, studio and live recordings, and has been nominated for several Latin Grammy Awards.

Soledad embarked on a new tour in several cities across Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, including three sold-out shows in the Teatro Opera in Buenos Aires.

In 2016, Soledad reached a milestone, celebrating 20 years of her musical career with a show at the mythical Cosquín Festival, where many of the most important artists from Argentina joined her on stage for an incredible performance.

She returned to Santiago, Chile just in time to sell out shows at the Teatro Nescafe and the Dreams in Viña del Mar.
