Fe)“CARINA ALFIE” (BIO) www.alfiecarina.com.ar Carina Alfie, hailing from Argentina, may just be the hardest working female musician in South America or anywhere else. Working in recent years with noteable South American acts Angel, Rogue Band, Heroinas, and Paysana among others (with Paysana she contributed two songs to the popular "The Best of Under" compilation CD in 1993), Carina Alfie knows all about determination and hard work. Releasing her first solo CD "Aislamiento" in 1996 to rave reviews in South American music press, she followed it up with two music videos, "Aislamiento" and "Vinka", which were aired on MuchMusic, ATC, and other regional and national video channels. Things were happening for Carina and she continued pushing forward and exploring new musical territory, inspired and driven by her deep affection for music and her ability to create music that affected listeners in profound and memorable ways. March 1997 brought an unexpected shove into the spotlight when, during guitar legend Steve Vai's tour of Argentina, the Grammy-Award winning musician met Carina at a press conference and invited her to perform onstage with his band that evening at the Gran Rex in Buenos Aires. She earned an ovation from the audience, and photos of the event soon appeared in many major guitar magazines. Her friendship with Steve Vai has continued to grow, and a song dedicated to Vai was included on her second CD, "Mundo Interior" (released in 2000). She has also performed in South America with Paul Gilbert. Her current project is Lunatycas, a brave instrumental rock outfit that's gaining attention from around the world. The year 2000 has indeed been a flurry of activity for young Carina, with guitar company Ibanez sponsoring a Carina Alfie guitar clinic tour throughout Argentina, and her disc "Mundo Interior" continues gaining attention and praise for its fluid melodicism, jaw-dropping guitar displays, and thoughtful arrangements. In September 2000, Carina returned to Los Angeles for three months of performances and time in Steve Vai's studio recording her new CD. (Later in 2000 during Vai's return tour of South America, Carina again joined him onstage in Chile and Argentina.) During her time in LA, Carina met drummer Linda McDonald of the all-girl rock band Phantom Blue, and together they recorded for the Jason Becker tribute CD, alongside artists including Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth), Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, etc. She continues performing as much as possible and is rehearsing with Phantom Blue for an upcoming tour. Her third record, "Transmission", was recently recorded at Vai's Mothership studio in Hollywood, which Vai engineer Neil Citron at the helm and also providing keyboards on the disc. She's also recently been asked to do a guitar instruction video called "Rock Vital."Music press worldwide has been catching on quickly, including articles and features in Guitar Player Magazine, Metal Hammer, MadHouse, Guitarrista, Music Shop, Epopeya, El Corte, Power Music, Musiquero, and more.
