Duo Garufa
In this show, singer Catalina Sophie and guitarist Julián Croatto, two musicians with South American roots (Río de la Plata), invite us to discover the vast world of tango.
She, with a background in jazz and he in classical music, met in Berlin in 2019 in search of a musical project that would reflect their family roots in Uruguay and Argentina and their love for this rich cultural heritage. Together they have been able to develop their own sound as a duo, combining tangos, milongas and waltzes in their repertoire.
Nochero & Catalina Sophie
Since 2024, Catalina has been working with the prestigious cuarteto Nochero. This ensemble with vocals is also excellent for larger tango balls and festivals.
Nochero´s repertoire has been enriched by arrangements specifically written for Catalina (e.g., classics like Malevaje, Pedacito de cielo, La última curda, as well as new tangos like Somos como somos, Mi ciudad y mi gente, or Corazón al sur, all by Eladia Blázquez).
In 2024, Nochero received a scholarship from the Senate Department for Culture and Europe in Berlin and will record a CD with Catalina Sophie in spring 2025.
Tangos y canciones del sur
Catalina Sophie and Juan Cruz Peñaloza present: Tangos y Canciones del Sur, a music project created by singer Catalina Sophie and pianist Juan Cruz Peñaloza, both of Argentinian origin. Their repertoire mainly includes popular music from Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil: tango, folklore, Argentinian rock songs, candombe and bossa nova. They are inspired by artists such as Spinetta, Charly Garcia, Fito Páez and Fabiana Cantilo, who have succeeded in combining the cultural heritage of tango with new sounds. Catalina and Juan Cruz, who have also been influenced by other styles such as jazz and pop, have developed their own authentic sound as a duo.
