New York, NY (Billboard Publicity Wire) June 11, 2009 — Carmelina (http://carmelinavargas.com/) releases her debut album “Morena” (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=317544821&id=317544801&s=143441) through her independent label Morena Records.
The 12-track album features collaborations with former Trackmaster Curt Gowdy, Game G and Coptic. Carmelina penned the entire album and produced three of the twelve tracks. “I was heavily involved in all facets of this album and it has been a labor of love, literally,” muses Carmelina.
The singer/songwriter/producer Carmelina first appeared on the national music scene in the summer of 2008 with the release of her first single “Mueve Las Caderas,” a rhythmic modern Pop/R&B track infused with tropical elements and dynamic harmonies. The song became the #1 listened to track on LALA.com and led ASCAP Latino to highlight Carmelina’s debut album “Morena” as one of the most anticipated albums of the year.
An artist from birth and the daughter of a merengue musician, Carmelina lets her music communicate her soul and reflect her upbringing, which spanned from Barahona, Dominican Republic to New York City. Carmelina is warm, bubbly and easy-going, yet deeply sensitive and determined.
Carmelina has appeared in the pages of Defining Trends Magazine, El Especial Newspaper and Tu Decides Newspaper. Online features include Sparkleshelf.com, Dominicantoday.com, Pontealdia.com, Mijamag.com, Ahorre.com and Corrientelatina.com. She also recently appeared alongside Sesame Street icon “Maria” (Sonia Manzano) at the Children’s Aid Society to raise funds for New York Public Schools.
