Colombian singer-songwriter, currently living abroad and identified by the artistic community as Claudia "La Gitana", a term associated with the spirit of joy and satisfaction she feels taking her music to different places and cultures. Her musical history is full of wonderful experiences such as the invitation to the International Festival"Golden Boleros"in Havana, Cuba (2018). She was invited as a special guest at the "Latin Carnaval" which presents Beaches Jazz in Toronto Canada (2019). Additionally, she was invited as a vocal soloist in different thematic concerts by the Departmental Band of Fine Arts in Cali, Colombia. Finalista of the Reality Show "CANTA CONMIGO - A OTRO NIVEL (SING WITH ME - ON ANOTHER LEVEL)"(2020-2021) of the Caracol Colombia channel, an experience that gave her visibility and recognition at the National level, reaffirming her great passion for the BOLERO. Proud to be part of the first edition of the book "MUJERES DE CAÑA DULCE (WOMEN OF CAÑA DULCE)" which contains the 100 most important women in music from Valle del Cauca Colombia, in the last 100 years.
