It is also an involuntary synthesis of everything that represents the 2 x 4 for "Cat".
Varela is, at this point, the most important female figure in the recent history of urban music. Even, to the point of not needing any gender clarification. If the arrabalera consecrated as the great voice of the last decades, Anyone would cry in heaven?
"Here we go", shoot the other end of the phone the artist born in Avellaneda, for not completing projects agendas between records and national and international tours. Although recently made headlines in many portals shows after a difficult start participation in Showmatch and after some statements about one of his former partners -John Darthés-, Varela still singing their 68 years with the same impetus that characterizes even in his own voice color.
As you begin to plan "quietly" a new European expedition ("Every two or three years I"), where "local" in Barcelona and luxury is given to fill theaters such as the Royal prestigious, in Madrid, the singer is on the verge of a return visit to La Falda. There awaiting a tango festival that knows almost by heart.
"Leaving Buenos Aires, which it is a quilombo, It is nice to go up for air in every way ", says no laps before a new presence in the tanguero meeting Punilla Valley. "I'll laburar, but I take it that way, in the psychic sense of the word ", adds.

In fact, beyond the inevitable orders, the singer promises to "open range" of the things being done.
In family
Part of this recent endeavor is linked to its origins and its own lineage. In 2017 Edited Varela Avellaneda, a cover album of country rock that reunited with his first love as a listener and he saw her working side by side with their children, Raphael and Julia. further, It included a series of luxury companions as Fito Páez, Pedro Aznar, Deborah Dixon and Ricardo Mollo. Everybody, according to the singer, "Gate-" who crossed the path of the project and wanted to be part.
How did you live that experience and how you hit on an artistic level?ADVERTISING
No I did for that, but there was a nutrition, one back home, my musical home from 11 years, which began with the Beatles. It was like a kind of recreation, which he is then put demanding because it is not blowing and making bottles. My son was the artistic director and my daughter was my coach. I came from many years of singing tango, with a very explosive rhythmic, very exhaustive. I had to get out of it, connect with what he sang before, and was complex. They helped me a lot.
How did address this retrospect with your own children?
For me it was like kid's dream. I will always cared one. They take care of me and also I contribute to something I heard when they did not yet exist, It was crazy. I took it with much happiness and a lot of professionalism, but it was very emotional. Fito also, for things that had to do with his life and sing the theme, The farewell. Peter came and played all the instruments, Besides putting the voice. A Ricardo loved the song I chose Almendra (Today all the ice in the city), which has an arrangement with strings. There really was a lot of emotion.
Head on
In recent months, Adriana Varela was also of many headlines for his critical comments regarding the management of government Mauricio Macri. A day of STEP, the subject occupies a central place in the thematic agenda of singer. Beyond its positioning, the strong personality of the artist echoes outside the boundaries of music and entertainment industry.
What expectations you generate elections?
-Since 2015 I'm exhausted. Every day a beating, every day a steak, and not just meat. Every day a provocation. It is everyday, and it's a long time. I'd rather not put expectations. I do not know if it is an unconscious cabal, but here in Capital is another story, meets all the good and bad, and these days plenty of evil. Now I calmed down a bit. I'm also working, I did not delete me anyone who needs it. But the general mood is exhausted.
-¿Lo felt in labor?
-Absolutely. The 2018 It was quite complicated. I followed laburando, but with less public. This year it recovered, but what one gains unaccountable as before. Garpar expense must, Hookers rates. You have children and you see that same thing happens. I, I swear, I thought I would not live more. Not the subject of Twine, but this kind of universe of power that can make us both year. I mean the general economic situation, people who are in the street situation, you do not have health. I can not believe it. What bothers me most in life is a lie, I can not tolerate and we constantly lied.
Isn't you afraid that such comments keep you from some of your audience?
No she happened to me or me going. The audience comes to see me and I speak very carefully. My pianist is called Marcelo Macri and I present it as "good", as the musical director who has nothing to do with the man who is in government. And people clap, which it is not even bat. Clapping same because laugh. Will you forgive me I. I am not saying barbarities, because I think a lack of respect. But always a little line because I am in full catharsis. People also.
How do you define this moment in your career?
-Complicated, but not for me. I am a committed socially mine from the cradle, I talk to my old this every night. I am not acting on my concern, I feel. I'm living my working time very well. The race is well. The issue is the energy density there. You know when you wonder why you can not be everything a little lighter? I can not dissociate the outside. My kids and old are my surroundings. People also, the other is my environment.
