TORONTO, CANADA (Top40 Charts/ Alejandra Ribera Official Website) - Alejandra Ribera graduated to Hugh's Room, Toronto's best known 200-seat acoustic music venue, after an exhaustive apprenticeship at
Queen Street's venerable Cameron House. Now, having sold out two shows at Hugh's Room in early January, she's returning for another show on Saturday March 13, in part to offer another chance for disappointed fans to hear her, and in part to play for European, Australian and other delegates to Canadian
Music Week.

Since she last performed at Hugh's Room, Alejandra has been working on new material, showcasing at Folk Alliance International in Memphis, Tennessee, and opening dates in Quebec for Caracol, one of the best-known young artists in the province.
Putting Alejandra's music in a pigeonhole is almost impossible, but names as varied as Tom Waits, Lhasa, Louis Armstrong, Edith Piaf and Mercedes Sosa have been raised by fans and critics.
She certainly crosses jazz, pop, folk and world music boundaries with confidence and a rich, powerful voice. Putting Alejandra's music in a pigeonhole is almost impossible, but names as varied as Tom Waits, Louis Armstrong, Edith Piaf and Mercedes Sosa have been raised by fans and critics.
