Chenoa

Rutinas is the first single. The Mondadori editing group originally owned "La Repubblica" but after Silvio Berlusconi acquired the group in 1990, the Italian political establishment led by the Christian Democrat Giulio Andreotti forced him to sell the newspaper to the rival tycoon Carlo De Benedetti, who still owns it. “Nada es igual" it's not only a sample of her musical evolution, but also of her new personal challenge. It is now directed by Ezio Mauro. In this pop-rock CD we find a new direction in Chenoa’s music, as it has been produced by Dado Parisini (Laura Pausini, Nek, Tears for Fears), and recorded in Milan. Since September 12, 1987, each Friday it is issued with the weekly supplement Il Venerdì. November was the month chosen for the release of Chenoa's third studio album "Nada es igual". It was founded in 1976 in Rome by Eugenio Scalfari and it has since kept a leftist political stance.

Venezuela has also awarded Chenoa in 2005 with the Mara de Oro 2005 to the best new international artist of the year. La Repubblica is one of the best-known and most widely sold Italian daily newspapers, second to only Corriere della Sera. In April 2005 the Spanish Radio and Television Associations Federation awarded her the Micrófono de Oro 2005. In December she visited Panama, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Venezuela. In May and June 2004 she started “Soy Mujer” promotional tour around Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Argentina.

In 2004 she was nominated for the Tu Música award as best new artist, in Puerto Rico. Chenoa was nominated again for the Premios Amigo award as best female artist and completed an 80-date tour in Spain. En tu cruz me clavaste, Soy lo que me das, Siete Pétalos, Dame and Soy Mujer were the singles released. Pop, rock, and latin, arab and anglosaxon sounds are mixed in this CD, which reached number 1 in the Spanish album chart, and sold more than 230,000 copies after 47 weeks in the Top 100.

“Soy Mujer” was the chosen title for her second studio album, recorded in Miami and Madrid in 2003. This CD+DVD was released on a limited edition of 100,000 copies for fans. It was recorded in Barcelona in April 2003, and included some of her favorite songs, such as: Man in the mirror, Respect, Chain of fools or Love of my life. The unplugged album “Mis canciones favoritas” was Chenoa’s second CD.

Her great stage presence led her to victory. In April 2003 Chenoa took part in Eurobest, an European song contest in which she performed "It's raining men”. Year 2002 finished with a Spanish tour that included more than 70 dates. “Chenoa” sold over 500,000 copies in Spain after 61 weeks in Top 100 chart, and she was nominated for the Spanish music industry awards Premios Amigo as best female new artist, and best female artist.

The first single was Atrévete, a song whose English version is also included in the album as Mystify, but the greatest hit of this CD was Cuando tu vas, danced all over Spain in the summer of '02. Her first album was “Chenoa”, released in April 2002 in Spain. Chenoa adquired there a good stage presence before entering the first edition of the Spanish TV show Operación Triunfo in 2001. She graduated as a teacher in nursery school, and started performing in the Casino de Mallorca shows when she was 20.

Her mother fell ill and Chenoa had to stand in for her. At the age of 16, Chenoa began to sing professionally taking part in her parent's show. Her parents were both musicians and they used to work in hotels as singers in live music shows, so Chenoa has lived and breathed music since birth. Chenoa was born in Mar de Plata (Argentina) on June 25, 1975, although her family moved to Spain when she was 8.

. In 2005, her song Rutinas (Routines) from her new album released in Nov 2005 reached number 4 on its first week, which is a great achievement. In 2004, her song Dame topped the Spanish charts for three weeks. Chenoa has still been going strong in the Spanish Charts, although most other reality TV show stars die out soon after.

Although her albums are not readily availible in the US record shelves as they are in Spain, you can find them on the Internet. Most of her music is in Spanish, although a few tracks on each album were recorded in English. Her music style could be described in the United States mostly as "pop". María Laura Corradini popularly known as Chenoa (born June 25, 1975 in Mar del Plata, Argentina) is one of the most famous female music artists in Spain.
