Biography


She was considered a "Revelation Artist" on International Women's Day (1986), and made her debut as a singer alongside Argentinian singer and actor Alberto Castillo. Later, she trained as a singing teacher at the Conservatorio Galvani in Buenos Aires (1990).[3]

She lived for eleven years in Villa Mercedes and later formed an ensemble with pianist Carlos Granado and bandoneon player Miguel Tortorelli. In 2002 she was chosen as the lead singer of Armando Caló's Orchestra, a band that had performed with Carlos Gardel, and travelled with them throughout  Latin America.[3]

She later became a member of the group Music Tango Review, also created by Armando Caló, and was chosen by producer Luis Cella for the multi-media show "El tango y el vino" at the "Almacén de Tango" venue in Mendoza. The artists performed the show for 700 consecutive nights (2007-2008) and won the Golden Condor at the International Tango Festival.[2] The band members were: Elián Sellanes (piano); Rodolfo Zanett (bandoneón), Pablo Guzzo (bass and double bass) and the voices of Omar Berón, and Silvia Gabriela. Gardel's repertoire was mixed with images: "La cumparsita", "Muñeca brava", "Milonga sentimental", "Uno" or "De puro curda", "Volver", "Cuesta abajo" and "Por una cabeza".[4] She also performed in the show "La Noche del Zorzal", another tribute to Gardel.[5] The show "Buenos Aires Tango y Vino" toured Spain, and among other theatres, they were at the Nuevo Teatro Alcalá.[2]

In 2008 she conducted her own television programme "Tango Osado" from the province of Mendoza, produced by her and music producer Elián Sellanes. Since then she has been directing the radio programme "El tango uniendo culturas" on the radio platforms Tinta de Escritores,[6] and Radio América.[7] She sang in the show "Los Cedros" in San Luis capital. Her version of the Argentine national anthem to the rhythm of tango and milonga was widely celebrated.

One of the highlights of her career was when she sang a duet with Julio Iglesias "My way" in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.[8]


International shows and tours


She has performed in many different forums and venues. In addition to touring much of Latin America, in 2001 she was a featured artist in the Argentina Tango Review which toured Colombia,[9] Venezuela and Ecuador.[8] She also sang at the gala of the Asociación de Periodistas de Radio y Televisión de la República Argentina (APTRA) in 2001.[10]

Among the  festivals, Silvia Gabriela closed the 14th Festival Internacional de la Calle Angosta 2001.[11] She also sang at the opening of the "Juan Gilberto Funes" stadium in the city of La Punta (2003); at the "Gaviota de Oro" Awards in Mar del Plata (2006); at the 21st National Festival "Rivadavia le Canta al País" (2007); at the Festival Internacional de La Vendimia; at "Música al Aire Libre" 2008 and at the Tribute to Mirtha Legrand, Mendoza, 2008.[12]

Gabriela participated in most of the editions of the Festival Internacional de Tango de San Luis,[13][14][15][16][17] where she gained recognition from her own province with the "Cóndor de Oro",[2] and at the Festival de los Vientos, in La Punta, 2018.[18]

She also participated in the show "Noche, tangos y perfume de mujer" at the Mauricio López Auditorium (National University of San Luis, 2011).20 In 2014 she toured Chile with the tango group "Malevaje".

Her debut tour of Australia (2015) was with the show "Al rojo tango" created by the Australian dancer and choreographer Fabio Robles, and she performed in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.When on this tour she sang the National Anthem to the rhythm of tango, it was a high point of connection with Argentinian emigrants. 

In 2015 she toured Australia again with "Milonga Uruguay Club".[20] After this tour she was hired and stayed in Melbourne, where she lives and where she continues her artistic and solidarity work, taking part in charity events.[21] During the COVID-19 pandemic, she offered one-hour online concerts every fortnight, interacting with her audiences from all over the world.[3]
