Artist
Adriana Varela (born Beatriz Adriana Lichinchi on May 9, 1952 in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a female Argentine tango singer, with a successful career that encompasses seven records, as well as minor movie roles Adriana Varela is regarded as one of the main Argentine tango singers of recent times, with a prominent singing career that begun in 1991 with a cassette named "Tangos". Two years later she launched her second record, "Maquillaje", where she also included her previous works. This record would prove very successful, with the special participation of renowned artists such as singer Roberto Goyeneche and pianist Virgilio Expósito. For this album she was awarded the ACE award two years in a row. She is nowadays a star that shines most, the best seller, the most sought-after recording artist, the one who most often appears in the Buenos Aires venues. She is, as well, the one most resisted by the traditional tango lovers, who regard her as a bad fake of "Polaco" Goyeneche in his last stage and think that she is rather a speaker than a singer. On the opposite side, she is admired by many ones that do not often listen to tango - especially those between age 30 and 45- but however are precisely attracted to her style. To these features we have to add her good-looking figure and her sensual personality. Adriana's case could be a similar case to Julio Sosa's in the 60s. He was widely acclaimed either by those not very close to tango or as well by young people,
