María Figueredo
Poeta | Cantante | Profesora uruguayo-canadiense María Figueredo crea mundos donde la poesía y la música dialogan en dos lenguas y muchas emociones. Su arte bilingüe explora temas de identidad, naturaleza, memoria y amor, tejiendo sonidos y palabras en una experiencia íntima y evocadora. Su repertorio musical combina influencias del folclore latinoamericano, el cancionero hispano de varias épocas, el canto popular, el jazz, y la poesía sonora, creando presentaciones íntimas, emotivas y profundamente artísticas. Ha llevado su obra a festivales, universidades y centros culturales en Canadá, América Latina, Europa y en los Estados Unidos. Su libro reciente, Creation Sounds, ofrece una meditación poética y teórica contemporánea sobre la imaginación sonora y la memoria cultural en Latinoamérica. |
