Maria Cangiano

Argentine singer and composer Maria Cangiano has a unique voice within a new generation of Argentine musicians who combined a rich Latin American folk and afro heritage with Classical and Jazz musical traditions.Moved by the beauty of Latin American poetry, Maria has composed new songs with the lyrics of different women poets and her own. "Heart of a Woman" is a journey to the depth of the woman's heart, her emotions, strength and wisdom. It gathers original songs with lyrics of poets such as Alfonsina Storni, Gabriela Mistral, Maria Fernanda Hubeaut and Maria Cangiano herself with original arrangements by two major Argentine musicians: guitar/composer Quique Sinesi and percussionist/composer Quintino Cinalli. It was released in New York at the Joe's Pub and Blue Note in 2012-2013 and in Buenos Aires in 2013. In 2014 María is developing new projects on Piazzolla Music as well as a multimedia performance on Afro argentine music. Maria has created a pioneer graduate program in vocal studies in the UNTREF, Argentina.
