Luciano Pereyra

Born Luciano Ariel Pereyra, the Argentine contemporary folksinger Luciano Pereyra began performing at age six with the local trio los del Regreso, directed by his father Luis Angel Pereyra. Roughly ten years afterward he tracked his first album, Amaneciendo, issued by EMI in 1999. Fusing Argentine folklore traditions with pop rhythms, the rising performer drew acclaim for three nights at Buenos Aires’ opera theater—September 3, 4, and 5, 1999—even as his single “Soy Un Inconciente” ascended the domestic charts. His sophomore release, Recordándote, followed in 2000.
