Sinergia (Rosevil, 2014)

The 3-disc set Sinergia showcases the talent of a formidable flamenco vocalist that has taken the Spanish flamenco scene by storm. Sinergia contains two CDs and a DVD with a live performances at iconic venues throughout Spain. Most of the songs were recorded at Teatro Lope de Vega in Sevilla and Teatro Isabel la Católica in Granada. Additional traaks were recorded at the scenic Plaza Mayor in Madrid and the Gruta de las Maravillas cave in Aracena (Huelva).

Sinergia is part of Argentina’s Un Viaje por el Cante (a trip around flamenco song) where she demonstrates her capacity singing a wide-range of flamenco styles and Andalusian folk songs. Argentina appears at her best, accompanied by guitar and percussion, expressing her deeply-rooted passion for flamenco.

Argentina María López Tristancho, better known as Argentina, hails from Huelva in southern Spain. She started as a dancer at the age of 3. At 12, her parents enrolled her in a flamenco peña (fan club) where she learned all about one of the local flamenco subgenres, the Fandango de Huelva. At 14 she joined a popular children’s flamenco group called Niños De Huelva tat released two albums “Herencia” (1998) and “Felices Pascuas” (1998). As the girls got older, they formed a new group called Cané that released two albums “Caudal de Pasiones”(2001) and “Beso de Amor”(2003).

Argentina also participated in two compilation recordings, “Historia Antológica del Fandango de Huelva” (2001) and “Fandango Joven” (2003).

In 2005, Argentina enrolled at the Fundación de Arte Flamenco Christina Heeren where she learned flamenco from masters such as Paco Taranto, José de la Tomasa and Esperanza Fernández. This led to a series of highly successful tours throughout the flamenco peña circuit in southern Spain and TV appearances. Currently, she’s one of the most reputable female vocalists in the flamenco scene.
