CD album Perlas Vivas pays tribute to classic female Latin-American poets.

The Uruguayan-Norwegian artist Laura Alvarez, guitar & vocal, sets poems of significant female poets to music.

Laura grew up in a family where music, poetry and literature was part of daily life. Her father was a poet and a maestro de la guitarra, and introduced her into the world of music, teaching her classical guitar and solfège. She pursued her studies by teachers as Atilio Rapat and Abel Carlevaro, and later on she studied musicology at the University of Oslo.

Laura Alvarez musicalizes poems of Maria Eugenia Vaz Ferreira, Gabriela Mistral, Juana de Ibarbourou, Alfonsina Storni, Idea Vilariño, Rosario Castellanos & Claribel Alegría among others. As far as we know, this is the first musical work that pays homage to female Latin American poets.

Invited musicians participate at the concert as well.
