Bio
Recognized as the voice of the Iberian and Latin American art song and often described as its ambassador, the soprano and musicologist Patricia Caicedo is one of the leading interpreters and researchers of this repertoire.
She is an avid performer of these works, having performed around the world in addition to founding and directing the Barcelona Festival of Song, which focuses on the study of the history & performance of Latin American and Iberian art song.
Patricia is a true artist-scholar who combines research and performance, enriching each other. She has recorded eleven CDs with art songs in Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, and Indigenous languages. Most of her recordings include works recorded for the first time or works composed for her to premiere. Two of her CDs are exclusively dedicated to the music of women composers.
In 2020 she returned to composition, which she did when she was a teenager. Her compositions are in a crossover Latin American and Spanish style, combining elements of the region's various folk and popular musics. In her compositions Patricia integrates her life's many musical influences, navigating between the worlds of art and folk song.
