High-energy Argentine folklore with a pop heart. Powerful vocals and driving acoustic rhythms that feel like a massive festival under the stars.
Soledad sounds like the heartbeat of the Argentine interior, amplified for a stadium audience. Her music is defined by a relentless, galloping energy, anchored by the 'bombo leguero' drum and virtuosic acoustic guitar strumming. It is bright, expansive, and unapologetically festive, capturing the spirit of a massive outdoor 'peña' where the energy never dips.
What makes her truly distinctive is her vocal power and stage presence, famously symbolized by her 'revoleo del poncho' (poncho twirling). She took traditional genres like chacarera and zamba and infused them with the charisma of a pop star, making folk music feel urgent and youthful for a new generation without losing its rural soul.
Start with 'Poncho al Viento' to understand the cultural explosion she caused in the late 90s. It is the definitive document of her raw, early energy and remains one of the most important folk records in Latin American history.
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. Soledad is the older sister of Argentine singer Natalia Pastorutti. 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 90s, in an interview with La Nación newspaper.
