Andrea Echeverri Receives 4 MTV VMALA Award Nominations Following Recent Latin Grammy Nominations

LOS ANGELES (Andrea Echeverri Official Website)- Colombian rock icon Andrea Echeverri has received an impressive four nominations for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards Latin America (VMALAs). The Awards will air on Oct. 20th, and can be viewed in the U.S. on MTV, MTV2, and MTV-Espanol. Andrea Echeverri's self-titled solo debut also recently received a Latin Grammy nomination in the "Best Female Pop Vocal Album" category. Her debut solo album "Andrea Echeverri" was released by Nacional Records, the new ADA/Warner Music Group-distributed label. The announcements mark Nacional's first Latin Grammy and VMALA nominations, a coup for the label, as Andrea Echeverri is also the label's first album release. Following a recently-completed two week promotional and concert tour of Puerto Rico, Echeverri will be heading to Austin on Sept. 25th to perform with such major acts as Coldplay and Franz Ferdinand at the Austin City Limits Festival.

Best known as the frontwoman for acclaimed Colombian Latin alternative band Aterciopelados, Andrea Echeverri has long captivated audiences with her potently melodic brand of feminism. After the critical and commercial success of "Gozo Poderoso", which landed Aterciopelados on the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Latin Albums Sales chart as well as a coveted appearance on the 'Tonight Show with Jay Leno', Echeverri took time off for the birth of her first child Milagros, who has proven to be a new point of artistic inspiration. The result is the self-titled album "Andrea Echeverri", Andrea's first solo release. The disc was produced by Hector Buitrago from Aterciopelados and mixed by Thom Russo (Juanes, Kinky, Johnny Cash), and also features a remix from Richard Blair (Sidestepper).

Andrea Echeverri and Aterciopelados fans can look forward to an iTunes-only special release of an acoustic live session recently recorded in the iTunes studio. The iTunes album will be available beginning on Sept. 27th.
