Tatiana Klauss

2007-12-20T20:49:00-05:00

On a recent jaunt to New York City to perform at the famous world music club S.O.B’s, Tatiana Klauss wowed the Manhattan audience with her powerful pipes, hook-rich songs and hard-rocking stage moves. Even the jaded New York critics were impressed; at a mere 17 years of age, Tatiana Klauss is clearly a contender in the crossover sweepstakes.

Hailing from the Caribbean Colombia state of Barranquilla, Klauss’s musical mix is an imaginative blend of Latin pop and North American rock. While the Latin rhythms of her home country are referenced in the percussive undertones of her sound, influences as far flung as AC/DC and Courtney Love are also evident in the incisive edge of her vocals and the “take no prisoners” lyrical themes that cut through her songs.

An illustrious team has been assembled to project Klauss into the pop stratosphere: Ramón Arias (peermusic), Germán Ortiz (producer) and Sebastián Krys (associate producer) are all onboard. But the presence of this superstar triumvirate only serves to shine what is already there, as Klauss’s spunk, edge and attitude spearhead the next generation of talent to emerge from talent-rich Colombia.

With her effervescent musicality, solid songwriting, soaring vocals and across- the-board appeal, it’s all too easy to make a comparison between this rising young artist and another well-known Colombian superstar. But one listen and all points of reference vanish in a heartbeat: Tatiana is clearly a singular young artist with a brilliant future.

Hailing from Miami, Sacha Nairobi is a songwriter who lives and breathes through music. A real treat to watch on stage, she practically bursts with the energy of each second of her songs. Each melody, unique and fresh, is executed as a Latin symphony by Sacha's talented band.

A force to be reckoned with, singer/songwriter Coral left her native Argentina at the age of 16 to make her presence known in the American Latin rock scene. Her talent, charisma and beauty are the elements behind performances that are nothing short of mesmerizing.

Julissa

Described by many as the Latin No Doubt, New York rock band Julissa's objective has been primarily to write and perform their own original pop/rock/alternative music with a Latin feel and sound that could appeal to any and all musical tastes and audiences. Full of energy, Julissa hopes to break barriers by appealing to anyone who simply appreciates music that you can dance or bob to.
