Soledad's Music Journey
Early Career and First Albums
In 1995, when Soledad was just 15 years old, a famous musician named César Isella helped her. He invited her to perform at the Cosquín folklore festival. Her performance with her sister Natalia was so good that she got a contract with Sony Music Argentina.
That same year, she recorded her first album, Poncho al Viento. After singing in over 181 towns and cities in Argentina, Soledad became very popular across the country. By the time her second album came out, her first album was a massive hit. People called her 'Huracan de Arequito' (Arequito's Hurricane) because of her incredible success.
In 1997, she released her second album, La Sole. She performed many concerts for this album, including 10 shows at the Teatro Gran Rex in Buenos Aires. Both of her albums reached No. 1 on the music charts many times that year.
Growing Success and New Experiences
Soledad's success continued to grow in 1998. She performed more concerts at the Teatro Gran Rex. She also joined the Argentina national football team for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. In Madrid, Spain, she received a special award from Sony International. This award was for selling one million copies of her first two albums.
When she returned, Sony Music Argentina recognized her as their top-selling artist across all music styles. She then released her third album, A mi gente. This album was recorded live during her concerts. For the first time, folk music was played a lot on radios and in discos.
In 1999, Soledad starred in a movie called Edad del Sol ("Age of the Sun"). She also recorded her fourth album, Yo sí Quiero a mi país ("I Love My Country"). This album was made in studios in Miami. It was produced by Emilio Estefan, a famous Cuban musician. This album helped her reach new fans in countries like Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Mexico, the United States, and Spain. She went on tour in these countries.
The movie Edad del Sol was a big production for Argentine cinema. However, it was not as successful as expected. Another animated film, Manuelita, became much more popular at the box office.
International Recognition and TV Appearances
In 2000, Soledad returned to Buenos Aires for three concerts at the famous Luna Park. In August, she performed at the Martigues Folklore Festival in France. She received great reviews there. Back in Argentina, she started recording her fifth album, which came out in October. Before that, she performed at the Barbican Centre in London. This was part of a festival celebrating Argentine cinema and music.
Soledad also took part in the 2000 Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile. This is one of the most important music festivals in Latin America. She won the Audience Prize there.
Her sixth album was recorded in 2001. It had a fresh new style. She performed more concerts at the Gran Rex. She also received the "Silver Torch" award at the Viña del Mar Festival again. Soledad started acting on TV in the soap opera Rincón de Luz in 2003.
Soledad has also been a vocal coach for the Argentine version of The Voice. She was also a judge on the singing competition show Rising Star. Since 2008, she has hosted a popular music TV show called Ecos de mi tierra ("Echoes of My Land").
Soledad has performed in over 2,000 shows. Many of these were outside Argentina. Some important performances include the Martigues Folklore Festival in France and the Barbican Centre in London. She also performed for over 20,000 people at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Valparaíso, Chile. This festival is known for showcasing top artists from Latin America and around the world.
Soledad has released 16 albums. These include acoustic, studio, and live recordings. She has been nominated for several Latin Grammy Awards. She has sung duets with many famous international artists. These include Alejandro Sanz, Carlos Santana, Carlos Vives, Juanes, Lila Downs, and Niña Pastori.
In July 2013, she performed for Pope Francis at World Youth Day. She closed the event in Rio de Janeiro. Her performance was shown on TV to more than three million people.
In 2014, Soledad worked on the album Raíz ("Root"). This was a collaboration with Mexican singer Lila Downs and Spanish flamenco artist Niña Pastori. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album and Latin Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Folk Album. The three artists also worked with Santana on a song called Una Noche en Nápoles for Santana's 2014 album Corazón.
In 2015, Soledad released a new album called Vivir es hoy ("To Live Is Today"). Her first song from the album, "Dame una sonrisa" ("Give Me a Smile"), featured Carlos Vives. Soledad then went on a new tour. She performed in many cities across Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. This included three sold-out shows at the Teatro Opera in Buenos Aires.
In 2016, Soledad celebrated 20 years of her music career. She had a special show at the famous Cosquín Festival. Many important Argentine artists joined her on stage for an amazing performance.
In April, she was the only Argentine artist invited to the Billboard Latin Conference & Awards. She was part of a special "Divas" panel. Later, she was invited to perform at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater. She returned to Santiago, Chile, and sold out shows there. In June, she reached another big milestone. She was hired by the American TV network ABC to sing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". This was on one of their popular reality shows, "The Bachelorette".
When she returned to Argentina, Soledad released a CD/DVD set called "20 años" (20 years). This started a new tour in Argentina and other countries. Her big stage show sold out the Estadio Luna Park and other major venues in Argentina. She also had great success with 30 shows in 7 countries. These included Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, the United States, Canada, and Spain.
