Celeste Carballo (born September 21, 1956, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine singer-songwriter rock, blues, hard rock, punk and tango.[1] She became known in the early 1980s for her distinctive voice range from B2 to F#6 in head voice. Her highest note in chest voice is B5. This way her voice covers 3.7 octaves.[2]
In the late 1980s, she made public her homosexuality and publicly confessed her romance with fellow singer Sandra Mihanovich.[3] Although her confession was unprecedented in the memory of a still fairly inexperienced in basic issues country, this did not affect her career.[4]
Among her best known songs are "¿Seré judía?", "Me vuelvo cada día más loca", "Es la vida que me alcanza", "Mi último blues", "Mujer contra mujer" and "Una canción diferente".[5][6]
