Irene Torres presents her new album of original songs and traditional covers in homage to her Peruvian roots!
Irene Torres - album launch
In a world of fast-paced music, Irene Torres is a rare gem that captures the soul of her audience. Born in Lima, Peru and based in Toronto, Canada, Torres has over a decade of experience on the international music scene. As the front-woman for several ensembles, including the Flamenco fusion group Santerias, the Afro-Cuban band Battle of Santiago, the Latin house project Sol Azul, and her own blues and soul group Irene Torres & The Sugar Devils, she has earned a reputation for her powerful and precise vocal delivery that conveys deep emotional depth.
Now, Torres is embarking on a new journey as she turns inward to record a solo album of original songs and traditional covers in homage to her Peruvian roots. This highly-anticipated album blends the traditional instrumentation of Peru with Torres' raw and honest storytelling, showcasing her unique artistic voice.
Torres' first single, "Fuego," has already made waves in the music industry, earning recognition as one of CBC Music's Global Music radio show Frequencies top tracks of 2022. Her latest single, "Mirada," is a true testament to Torres's creative range. Featuring a blend of a 1950s Cuban afro groove, akin to a bolero, Peruvian instrumentation, and a traditional festejo section, the song was inspired by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's tumultuous love story. It celebrates the bittersweet melancholy of fiercely devoted lovers who are united despite their differences.
With her exceptional debut solo album on the horizon, Torres is sure to captivate her audience once again. Her performances showcase her incredible vocal talent, unique artistic vision, and deep commitment to sharing her culture and experiences with the world. Don't miss your chance to witness the magic of Irene Torres.
