Luciano Pereyra

The Argentine singer, one of the most recognised voices in Latin America, visits the Teatro Calderón on 19 October as part of his new tour Te Sigo Amando. A renewed show that promises the audience emotion, romance and all the energy that sets the artist apart.

Luciano Pereyra is a solo artist and composer born in Luján (Argentina) in 1981, who showed his calling for song at just nine years old by taking part in a children's programme on Argentine television. But it was in 2000 that he became famous, when he sang in front of Pope John Paul II in Vatican City, representing Latin America at the jubilee celebrations.

However, Luciano released his first album in 1998, Amaneciendo, a mix of zamba, carnavalito, waltz, chacarera and ballads. Two years later he launched Recordándote, but when he released his third LP, Soy tuyo, Luciano turned to other styles, such as tango and bolero. Not content with this, on his fourth album, Luciano, he drew the fusion of South American folk with pop and urban rhythms that characterise his creations today.

He currently has 15 published albums and has sold more than a million copies. Thanks to popular songs such as Tu dolor, Enséñame a vivir or Porque aún te amo, he has received the most important award in Argentine music, the Premios Gardel, and in 2016 he was nominated for a Latin Grammy in the category of Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album for his record.

With more than 25 years of career and a style that fuses South American folk with pop and urban sounds, he has also composed the soundtrack for some of the most famous telenovelas in Argentina and Chile, such as Esperanza mía, and in 2001 he was chosen to sing the Argentine national anthem at the farewell tribute match for Diego Maradona.
