Soledad Pastorutti
Soledad "La Sole" Pastorutti (born October 12, 1980) is an Argentine folk singer, who brought the genre to the younger generations at the end of the 20th century, and the beginning of the 21st. She is also a film and TV actress.
Her first album, Poncho al Viento, is Sony Music's best-selling album ever in Argentina according to Alberto Caldero, Sony Music's president in the late 1990s, in an interview with La Nación newspaper.
In 1995, when Pastorutti was 15 years old, César Isella took her under his tutelage to participate in the Cosquín folklore festival. Her performance with her sister Natalia landed her a contract with Sony Music Argentina to record and release her first album, Poncho al Viento, that very same year. After one year singing in over 181 villages and cities in Argentina, Soledad was already popular in the whole country. By the time her second album was released, her first album became a huge hit in Argentina. She was so incredibly successful and popular that the media called her 'Huracán de Arequito' (Arequito's Hurricane).
In 1997 she recorded her second album, La Sole, which she also presented in several concerts throughout the country, including 10 concerts in Buenos Aires' Teatro Gran Rex. During the year, both of her albums went to No. 1 several times.
In 1998 her success kept growing. She performed more concerts at the Teatro Gran Rex, and accompanied the Argentina national football team for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. In Madrid, Spain, she received a distinction from Sony International for selling a million units of her first two works.
Upon her return, Sony Music Argentina recognised her as the best seller artist of the company in all the musical genres, and edited her third album A mi gente, recorded live during her concerts. For the first time, folkloric music was getting huge airplay in radios and discos.
In 1999 she became the protagonist of the movie Edad del Sol ("age of the Sun", also an anagram of her name), and recorded her fourth album, Yo sí Quiero a mi país ("I love my country"), this time in studios in Miami under the production of Cuban musician (and husband of Gloria Estefan) Emilio Estefan. The album opened doors to other markets in, among others, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Mexico, the United States and Spain, in which she would embark on tour.
Edad del Sol was a huge production for Argentina's cinema standard, and Clarin reported Soledad asked for three times more than an "A-list" Argentine actor asks for a movie. The movie, about a graduation trip, was shot in Bariloche. The movie was not as successful as expected, with Manuelita (an animated film based on a popular children's song) overshadowing and outperforming at the box office. The cartoon stole the film's spotlight, and was the biggest film in Argentina of the last 20 years. Furthermore, "Edad" was not well-received or widely praised by critics.
