At a time when people are looking for music and artists that are above the average, they find them in their own neighborhoods. Katy Calzado is an example of such a versatile artist with her first CD «La Vida Es Una Sorpresa» [Life Is Full Of Surprises].

Katy Calzado is a singer and songwriter with a wide range of interpretation of different Latin genres such as Son Montuno, Rumba, Bachata, and Cumbia. Her singing is an example of pure interpretation without synthesizers and other forms of artificial flavours to her music.

Her first song which is the title of her CD «La Vida Es Una Sorpresa» [Life Is Full Of Surprises] challenges people to forget about the bitterness of the past in order to embrace a present as well as a future full of happiness, forgiveness, and love [as in love between all human beings].

The interpretation of the bachata «Que Pecado Tiene» was also beautifully orchestrated as well as the traditional Cuban Song by composer Guillermo Portabales «El Carretero» took the underwriter to the period when he lived in Venezuela in the 1970’s.

The compositions of Katy Calzado such as «El Son Es La Tradicion» [The Son Traditional Cuban Dance], Amor [Love], El Fotingo de Domingo [The Events of Sunday] with its rhythm invites people to either dance or make a personal reflection. «El Fotigo de Domingo» is a Cumbia that also evoked in the underwriter the times in Venezuela.

«La Guagua» is a satire about busses while her rendition of the classical song by Mexican Composer Jose Alfredo Jimenez «El Rey» [The King] evokes pride in the face of adversity. One of the things that the underwriter took into consideration was the Down to Earth nature of Katy Calzado.

She dedicated her CD to God, her family [including father, mother, daughter, brother, and pet] and to her friends. It is this and other factors that make Katy Calzado a new voice in Miami Florida for future generations.
