Argentinian Flamenco – Maria Lopez Tristancho
Europe/ Spain / Andalusia / Huelva
María López Tristancho
Since in the summer of 2006, this young singer from Huelva (June 1984) fulfilled the illusion of publishing her first album, artistically, the life of Argentina María López Tristancho, artistically known as Argentinian has taken an absolute turn.
María López Tristancho, Her stage name is personal, inherited from his paternal grandmother. Few record debuts are remembered with such an impact on a flamenco artist, but it seems that this time, talent and luck have taken this young woman by the hand, who is experiencing an absolutely sweet moment, because the following months have only endorse its good start:
Her work deserved the Critics’ Award for Best Disc of Cante Revelation, at the same time that it dominated the top positions in the success lists of the main radio formulas of Andalusian music: number one in Radiolé and Canal Fiesta in several occasions and reissue of the album with remixed songs to celebrate this good reception, which has also been endorsed with television appearances on Quintero’s La Noche or María Jiménez’s Bienaventurados, in addition to its live recording for Radio 3’s Los Conciertos.
And in the meantime, Argentina shows that she is not just a singer of a record, reaping enormous success also in her live performances and before such important stages as the Festival De Cajón and the Fiestas de la Mercé in Barcelona, Bienal de Málaga en Flamenco, Festival Flamenco Pa’Tos in Madrid or their concerts in Huelva, Seville or Zaragoza.
Far away, still close in time, are his numerous performances for the Andalusian clubs and his training period at the Cristina Heeren Foundation in Seville. Performances where Argentina has been becoming an artist on the go, waiting for his opportunity, who knows if it has come to him happily.
In 2008 we must highlight, among many others, the great successes achieved in Madrid as part of the Veranos de la Villa Festival in the incomparable setting of Jardines de Sabatini, in the Gran Teatro Falla in Cádiz and in Bilbao’s Semana Grande.
