Venezuelan Recording Artist, Emperatriz

Making her debut in the Red Room on Thursday, July 6, is Venezuelan Recording Artist, Emperatriz Valles! Emperatriz is the winner of The Voice of Vallarta 2017, and is also member of the now-famous musical group, Trinity, which is comprised of The Voice winners for 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Emperatriz is a native of Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, where she had a very successful career as a recording artist. Last year, she and her family moved to Puerto Vallarta, and Emperatriz was excited to learn about The Voice of Vallarta competition. She was an impressive contestant with a rich, velvety tone and soulful performances that captivated audiences and made her the undeniable winner of the entire competition!

In her cabaret show, Emperatriz will perform alongside her famous husband, Alejandro Alcalá, who will accompany her on the acoustic guitar. She will perform many Latin songs, some of them originals, that she recorded in Venezuela. She's excited about this opportunity and looks forward to thrilling the audience with her incredible vocals!
