MARIA VOLONTE + MAVI DIAZ:
WAPAS TOUR
[DATE: April 2012]
María Volonté and Mavi Díaz are two icons of Argentine music who exemplify a passionate commitment to the artistic life and symbolize the important role of women as driving forces in Argentine music. Both are tireless musical adventurers who continue to break new musical boundaries as prolific songwriters and constantly evolving performers.
The “Wapas Tour” is the joint endeavor of these two artists, existing as a side project for both of them. When their busy schedules permit, Maria takes a break from her tango-blues fusion project “The Blue Tango Tour,” while Mavi takes time off from her Argentine folk-rock band “Mavi Díaz & Las Folkies” to perform together.
Maria and Mavi have performed in Argentina and, with the support of the Argentine Foreign Office, have toured in Europe. Their tour of the United States in April 2012 is also made possible through the generous support of the Argentine government.
The name “Wapas Tour” is a play on the Spanish word “guapa.” In Spain, “guapa” means “a beautiful, attractive woman,” while in Argentina, “guapo” means “street-wise and tough.” Both qualities apply to these two incredible women. In text messages in Spain, young people spell “guapa” as “wapa,” hence the “Wapas Tour.”
