Catalina, Juan & Julian- Klänge des Südens
Two ensembles, one shared root: Catalina Sophie, together with her musical musical partners Juan Cruz Peñaloza (piano) and Julián Croatto (guitar), invites you to a special evening, a musical journey through the South of Latin America, full of emotion, rhythm, and poetry.
The trio brings songs and rhythms from Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil to the stage: a finely tuned blend of tango, milonga, Argentine folk, candombe, bossa nova, and poetic rock songs from the South. Inspired by artists such as Spinetta, Charly García, Fito Páez, and Fabiana Cantilo, the musicians weave traditional sounds together with modern influences from jazz, pop, and classical music.
With great intimacy and musical depth, they create a unique soundscape that reveals both the roots and the personal signature of each musician. The evening thrives on the interplay between voice, guitar, and piano, and on the shared passion for the musical heritage of the Río de la Plata.
An intense concert experience between nostalgia and new horizons, between tradition and a sound of their own.
Duo Garufa
In this show, singer Catalina Sophie and guitarist Julián Croatto, two musicians with South American roots (Río de la Plata),invite the audience to explore the rich and diverse world of tango.
She brings a background in jazz, while he comes from classical music, and their paths crossed in Berlin in 2019 in search of a project that could reflect their family heritage from Uruguay and Argentina as well as their shared passion for this vibrant tradition. As a duo, they have since developed a distinctive sound, weaving together tangos, milongas, and waltzes into a repertoire that is both personal and deeply connected to their cultural origins.
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 El corazón al sur, all by Eladia Blázquez).
In 2024, Nochero was awarded a grant from the Senate Department for Culture and Europe in Berlin and, together with Catalina, recorded the album Cantar siempre cantar in the spring of 2025, which will be released on September 28.
Tangos y canciones del sur
Catalina Sophie and Juan Cruz Peñaloza present Tangos y Canciones del Sur, a project created by the singer and the pianist—both of Argentinian origin—that explores the richness of South American popular music. Their repertoire spans tango, folklore, Argentinian rock, candombe, and bossa nova, drawing inspiration from artists such as Spinetta, Charly García, Fito Páez, and Fabiana Cantilo, who bridged the cultural heritage of tango with new sounds. Influenced also by jazz and pop, Catalina and Juan Cruz have developed their own authentic voice as a duo.
