Soema Montenegro

About

Buenos Aires-born songstress and multi-instrumentalist Soema Montenegro is a rather formidable force on the modern folk scene. While she performs her emotive songs in Spanish, they portray enough theatricality and raw emotion to transcend any language barriers. This impressive characteristic and her powerfully haunting voice has won her an international audience in addition to tremendous critical acclaim. With the release of her debut album in 2008, influential director Vincent Moon asked Montenegro to be featured on the 100th episode of his renowned Take Away Show. With this publicity, the singer/songwriter and her enchanting, experimental folk gained the much deserved widespread attention Montenegro enjoys today.
