Vocalist/composer Eva Amaral joined forces with guitarist/composer Juan Aguirre in 1998 to form the pop/rock band, Amaral, and after signing with Virgin Records, they have won an avalanche of awards. Named “Best Spanish Music Group” at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards, the critically-acclaimed group has taken Europe, Latin America, and their home country, Spain, by storm. Now, they’re on the verge of something great here in North America. Last fall, their album, La Barrera del Sonido (The Sound Barrier), went gold in the first 15 days of its release, and it also recently won “Best Musical Video Production of 2009” in Spain’s prestigious Premios de la Música. Produced by Cameron Jenkins, their 2008 album, Gato Negro Dragón Rojo (Black Cat, Red Dragon), has gone platinum and reached #1 on the charts in its first week.
Their 2010 North American tour is taking them to Canadian Music Week, Chicago, SXSW in Austin, and New York.
