This is an artist on the rise, with a debut album - "Popular"- which it has more than one million copies in Spotify and has been nominated for the Gardel Awards and with the possibility of closing the year with a concert at Niceto, before the start of his next work record.

Maria Campos spoke exclusively with The sidewalk and he provided details on his presentation at the site of Niceto Vega 5510. In the middle of trials, He explained that "there are some things I'll play with tracks, which is something new ", as well as "with some digital sounds and that must be mixed with an acoustic band, so everything demanded a lot of work, but the results are very good ".

How would you define your musical proposal?

I could not say, I think my genre is the song, because much it mixed with everything I was listening to that music and I was stirring up in time. boleros may appear, very rockeras things. The blues is always present or tango. I really like the music now, so also mixed more urban passages. It's very varied, but very noble to the song rather than gender. A lyrics and the message, since the songs always have a reason and the accompanying gender according to the mood that has. I really like opposites and mix that into the song also. It is a varied.

According to details the singer herself, the artist who defined his path was Janis Joplin. still even remembers "that the 15 years gave me one of his records, coinciding at the time he was studying classical music and when I heard, I never went back to school ".

Campos was then with her teacher, wanting to play "Cry baby" but "when I saw the face of the teacher was the moment I said no, It is done". "She impressed me much more than, for example Aretha Franklin and other great singers and later also came Goyeneche. I think those two are the definition ", he added.

¿ "Popular" was a dream debut?

He never had a proposal of a solid or reliable label to a disc and when he arrived he had many songs. It was recorded exactly the models he had and, While on one hand I wish someone would do something different, on the other it amused me and that fact gave me more confidence when touching.

As for the impact, itself was very good and I find it hard to accept, because I did not see it coming or disk chance because there are some songs that have more than ten years and others that were out in the process of realization. It was a dream album and came in a time limit, in which I do not know what would have happened if there had been.

According to detailed by María Campos, the disc will be played almost entirely and also the public know a foretaste of what will be the second album.

How did you live the arrival of the album to the public?

I did not expect the impact of "Popular" had on people even today do not think so, even while I'm playing and I see that the letters know. My brain still can not assimilate, I find it amazing really.

Pending the closure of the year, these days will be released the new single, "The miracle" and after the show Niceto "Uruguay will be in presenting me at La Trastienda, before you start recording the new album ", says and adds: "I have also Curtain" Separated ", will be the new fiction that El Trece presented next year. That's something I dreamed since childhood and then have some singles before the final departure, which will be in January or February ".
