Conchita Castillo

Music has been a passion and a constant in Conchita's life since birth and probably before. Both her parents are great music lovers and, like her, have always been singing or whistling around the house. Conchita started singing in choirs as a child and has always been fascinated by harmonies. Funnily enough, it is only later in life that she started appreciating jazz, which has quickly become her favourite genre! Presently, Conchita is the vocalist in a jazz band and a folk band, and she also sings with a medieval ensemble. Languages are her other passion and she teaches a few of them in her 'day job'. http://www.softlyjazz.es/ http://es.youtube.com/user/Sweetvoiceforyou http://www.myspace.com/conchitacastillojazzsinger
