Noelia Moncada

Event information

Tango, the music of Buenos Aires, is more than a dance.

Noelia Moncada from Buenos Aires is gaining increasing recognition as one of the principal representatives of vocal tango and related Argentine music in the younger generation. With a voice of an exceptional quality, her singing is natural and unobtrusive, yet enthrals the listener with its deeply moving musical expression. It has been said of her that her voice, while that of a young woman, sometimes also seems to contain “a lifetime of experience”.

Noelia began her international career touring the world with high profile acts such as the legendary dancer Julio Bocca with his Ballet Argentino (“Bocca Tango”), or Miguel Angel Zotto’s “Tango X 2”. The Raul Garello Sextet and the orchestra El Arranque have each at times secured her as their permanent singer.
As a solo artist, she has performed and recorded with some of the most highly respected tango musicians, such as the guitarist Juanjo Dominguez. In her home country she was recently lauded at the official festival of the Piazzolla Foundation to mark the 90th anniversary of Astor Piazzolla’s birth. Following her debut album “A Tiempo” (2008), her second solo album is due out this year.

On this rare occasion in London, Noelia Moncada will perform with guitar accompaniment, presenting her country’s songs in their most immediate, authentic and original form. An opportunity not to be missed!
Guitar: Oscar Acebrás
