The Beginning
Lorena Taibo was born on a Friday in the '70s, in Buenos Aires, near Río de la Plata. At seven, she was already a soloist in her school choir and taking guitar lessons. At 12, she participated for the first time in a Song Contest, singing two songs in English, something she continued doing until she was 20 years old.
At 14, Lorena became interested in theatre and tried musicals, taking leading roles at the Teatro Amateur; at 15 she entered the Juan José Castro National Conservatory, which she later left although she continued her work in the theatre until she was 19.
At this time she met musician and composer Dany Tomas, who chose to include one of her songs in his theatrical piece "Vueltas", and she actively participated in the recordings. Having already begun studies in Graphic Design, Lorena met various musicians and started experimenting with different singing styles such as boleros, tangos, bossa nova, and rock, performing in various pubs of her native city. She also took singing lessons with the renowned soprano Tatiana Zlater of the Teatro Colon. This is when she decided to dedicate herself purely to music.
El Símbolo
In 1994, Taibo formed El Simbolo with fellow musicians Frank Madero, Ramón Garriga, and Tote Puerta. Their first cut, "No te Preocupes", rapidly positioned itself as one of the most played songs on Argentine radio, and was the most popular song in discos throughout the country. They toured Argentina and decided to venture into other markets.
In 1995 El Símbolo went on its first international tour in Chile, performing from Arica to Puerto Montt. They also played the Estadio Nacional in Santiago. In December, they finished their second work, Madagascar, and the songs "Ya no hay mas problemas", "Madagascar", and "Te quedas junto a mí" became big hits. They continued performing in Argentina and quickly captivated the Brazilian public.
They returned to Chile in January 1996 for a 25 days tour, and began a 50 days Brazilian tour in February to promote their debut album "El Simbolo". However, throughout the year the group returned to Brazil and performed a record-breaking, 160 shows in 9 months in the States of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, San Pablo, and Rio de Janeiro. El Simbolo also ranked number one in the rankings for the major channels: OGlobo, SBT, Jovem PAM, and Atlantida. In October they launched advances of their new album, "Levantando las manos" in dance compilation format at the "La France" disco in Buenos Aires. They signed a contract with Fonovisa for publishing rights in Latin America, Mexico, USA, and Spain. Throughout the summer of 1997 they toured Argentina, and then Lorena moved to Santiago, Chile.
ESKP
In Chile, Taibo formed the band ESKP with Alfredo Alonso, Lito Zerene (ex Aleste), and Tito Troncoso (ex Viena), all of whom she had met on tour in Iquique in January 1995. Their first collaboration was the soundtrack for a television show called Eclipse de Luna, airing on channel 13 (Universidad Catolica de Chile) at the beginning of 1997, which went gold for its sales in Chile. In October of the same year, they began recording Cuerpos en Trance and continued doing so until February 1998. Cuerpos en Trance went on sale in Chile with the label Warner Music Chile in August of 1998 and was produced by Argentine Mario Breuer. The first released was called "Te mentiré", a ballad used for the television show Marparaíso airing on channel 13 at the beginning of 1998 which is still heard on Chilean radio today. Their second single was called "Cuerpos en Trance", for which the album was named and which encapsulates the album's concept.
Her first solo album: Mitología Privada
The new millennium arrived with a new project in hand for Lorena Taibo. Her first solo album, Mitología Privada, it was produced by herself, and then was released in Chile in November 2000 by Warner Music Argentina. The production was for the most part written by Taibo and Zerené, but also included songs by Claudia Brant, Dany Tomas and Wengrovsky.
Three singles were released from this album. The first was a video clip for "Huellas en el Mar", filmed at "El Baul de la Abuela". The song was included as part of the soundtrack for the television show "Sabor a ti" and crossed borders, becoming popular in Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Miami (USA). The second single was called "Volverte a Abrazar", a ballad whose video clip was in cinematic format and which was very well received locally. Both songs composed by Taibo and Zerené. Mitologia Privada stood out for its latin flavored arrangements using trumpets, a lot of percussion and an acoustic guitar that caressed the ears. For Lorena, the record was a message of optimism and she made sure the music and lyrics portrayed that feeling.
It was at that point that Lorena became a singer - songwriter, and also worked for Peermusic Chile composing songs for other artists.
