General Alvear is a small town in the west of Argentina, a small town where the light bluedome seems to have more cyan and magenta than we are used to see: a different color inthe sky. A town where the window bars was just decorative and the children's bikes couldrest without danger. That was the time when Mariana Paráway was born, who afterwardsmoved to Mendoza City, studied music and was member of some bands of the statePrismal and Glamour, energetic rock and punk that succumbed at the first sign ofdisaffection and the classical artistic habit of patching hearts with beautiful songs.There was where Mariana discovers herself as a composer and in October 28th of 2009she lets the people discover her in her first solo show.Two years later, her first record “El Tiempo” would confirm that she had not taken the

wrong way; 12 songs that would mark her own style and would encourage her career.A year later, in the middle of 2012, her second record “Los Peces” would amaze people and the National

Press with another dozen of perfect songs. That new phase needed musicians who joined her in theendless “Pleamor y los viajes de una pez” Tour: Carmen Nicotra (violin, percussion, chorus and

guitar) and Ivan Rivas (bass and violoncello). General Alvear, San Rafael, Buenos Aires, La Plata,San Juan, Córdoba and La Pampa in repeated dates, already witnessed of her voice, her guitar

and her talent.“Los Peces” earned Mariana to be chosen among the featured artists of the year by the

retrospective of Diario Los Andes (Mendoza, Argentina) and the honor of winningthree awards in Premios Zero 6th edition (awarded by Revista Zero with

participation of 20 journalists entertainment jury of Argentina). Best FolkSolo, Best Clip (Bailar) and Best Band of The Year.

This way, Mariana Päraway follows her way, around the world with hersongs and painting the musical firmament with a little more of cyan

and magenta than we used to see. Giving a different color to therest of the sky.

Very youngwas he when

h e f i r s tgrabbed an old

rusted guitar from a moist basement.The place: the “Pampagonia”, the strip

where the Pampa meets the Patagonia.He started his musical trip from argentinian

folcklore, going from there to heavy metal,playing first in a band in New Zealand and then

in one back in argentina wich released one albumin 2000.

In a sudden change of plans he studied classical music,he graduated as a Sound Engineer in Chile and travelled

to Vienna, Austria, searching for his beloved classical music.There, he entered the Latinamerican Choir of Viena and

formed a duet with a pianist called Phillip Ternes, from theMusic University of Vienna.

Un tal Juan Pez is the last creation of this artist, which collects awiderange of stimulus: classic, native, organic, intense. It was born in

Spain in 2011 and went on in Argentina, where the first record is beingmade. The press is kind to him and the public awaits with expectation.

He maintains only one constant: each concert is unique, and it changes withthe venue.
