YARA
BEILINSON - CURRICULUM VITAE (BIOGRAPHY)
Yara has studied music in some of the most renowned music and art
schools in Argentina and Cuba.
After an intensive and successful career as a singer, performing
on different stages across Latin America, Yara decided to settle
down in Barcelona where she is currently working with some of the
most distinguished musicians in Spain.
Album
This album was born out of the restless desire to fuse different
musical styles with a clearly defined 'Brazilian Jazz' base, resulting
in a fresh, live and elegant sound. This combined with a polished
performance and interpretation by collaborating musicians has produced
a truly unique work.

para Voces” recorded in Barcelona in 2004.
