Queridos oyentes, Luego de la bella experiencia humana y musical de "Al cantar tus flores", hemos decidido terminar este año con un nuevo disco en duo (guitarra-voz), netamente acùstico e intimista. "Una vez" refleja un trabajo de 10 años en complicidad con Donald Régnier. La mitad del disco del duo IGUAZU presenta un repertorio inédito y la otra mitad, arreglos sobre temas conocidos del repertorio latino, francés y de jazz. Ojalà sea de su agrado! Maria .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ...... .......... I was born in Quito – Ecuador. My grandparents were painters (Elvia and Leonardo Tejada), and I felt always supported to practice arts, specially danse and music. I started learning vocal technique with soprano Blanca Hauser from Chile, then continued studying Music in Universidad San Francisco de Quito. At 22 years old I went to France where I lived for 10 years, performing Latin American music and studying in "Conservatoire de Metz" with Thierry Péala’s vocal jazz classes. First album: “Fábula” Cristal Records, 2006. (original compositions by Donald Régnier and Maria Tejada). Second album: "Al cantar tus flores" 2008 (Ecuadorian traditional music mixed with jazz and latin folk sounds). Third album coming this autumn: "Una vez" 2009 (duo guitar and voice "Iguazu" presents new compositions). My influences come from Latin American folk music: MPB (Brazilian popular music), Caribbean rhythms, valses and afro-rhythms from Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru … I also LOVE jazz, fado and flamenco.

There is no overemphasis on the use of “scat” singing, as a signification that Maria is singing “jazz”; but the exercise of her musical taste and understanding of what that expression of music is really about, following in the tradition of Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn, etc.."
