Debut CD
Alma y Luna
Alma y Luna expresses a rich diversity of Latin American music, viewed through a New York lens. Tosello's vocal style is subtle
and charismatic, beautifully supported by a stellar group of musicians from Argentina, Venezuela, Cuba and New York City.
Produced by Fernando Aponte, Alma y Luna showcases Tosello's
talent as a songwriter and as an interpreter of Latin American
composers Alberto Rojo, Chato Diaz, Ana Robles,and Julio
Santillan, Pavel Urkiza and others.
With the guitarra, contrabass and bombo leguero as her starting
point, Tosello creates an original musical synthesis that becomes
her personal vehicle: honest, passionate, and full of beautiful
stories. You'll hear the downtown world jazz scene in Tosello's
performances--with a touch of funk.
