Mariana Figueroa is a writer and musician. She was born in Montevideo and there she lives. As a writer, she's been included in several collective books, she won some prizes, and met a lot of people. She also collaborated with literary blog .txt, and wrote the script for a radio soap opera ( "La mejicaneada", uniradio, 2005-2007). She started as a street musician around 1997 in the Montevideo urban buses, first playing quena (an Indian flute from the Andes region) and then singing with a guitar. Between 2000 and 2001 she starts writing and singing her own songs, playing them in small theaters and pubs. For the past years, she has been performing as a singer and songwriter at literary meetings. Nowadays, she is involved in two projects concerning setting poems to music, one of them a collective one (Rio Cuchara, on Edgar Lee Masters Spoon River Anthology) and the other one a personal one, on André Breton's works translated to Spanish by Peruvian poet Armando Rojas.
