Maria Volonte is a Latin Grammy nominee, Carlos Gardel Prize

winner(Argentina's Grammy) and member of the Tango Hall of Fame.

Renowned for her intense, passionate performances, she has released 8

award-winning CDs. Her latest CD is distributed in the US and

worldwide by the Harmonia Mundi label. She has headlined at the SFJazz

Festival three times and recently performed live on NPR in Washington

DC for the "Tiny Desk Concert Series."

Maria's current repertoire of original compositions explores the

fusion of tango and Latin American folk music with the blues. Her

performances are emotionally intense and feature Maria on guitar and

vocals while I play harmonica. Together we tour year-round on three

continents.

What other people say about Maria Volonte:

*The Guardian (UK)* says, "She can mix an intimate treatment of

tangoclassics by the great Astor Piazzolla with songs from Chile and

Brazil, along with echoes of late-night jazz and Latin-blues

fusion.She has a cool, emotional style, plays impressive acoustic

guitar, and is willing to experiment."

*The Los Angeles Times* says, "Volonté is a good example of an artist

who is respectful of her roots yet not afraid to go beyond musty old

formulas… Her musical concept is refreshingly broad."

While *Jazz Perspectives* says simply, "María Volonté combines the

earthiness of Edith Piaf with the sassiness of Eartha Kitt."
