The first words of Yhosva Montoya as the new winner of La Voz Argentina

He had everything to gain, as he finally did, but nonetheless there is the aroma of a shock, of surprise. The sea in the background indicated that the glory would remain in the hands of Angela Navarrofrom Lali team, which would make her the first woman to win the La Voz Argentina trophy. But the talent of Yosva Montoya led him to garner 52.4 percent of the public’s votes. and wept.

How excited are you now?a few minutes after the triumph, on the other side of the line, at the threshold of Tuesday morning. “I really don’t know what I feel, I haven’t fallen yet … Or I know: gratitude”says this 23-year-old Patagonian contest winner who saw him enter Telefe casting with 4042 on his chest. And she passed one test and another …

And the day came blind hearing, where the participants sing in front of a jury with their backs turned. And while running moveby Nahuel Pennisi, the four (Ricardo Montaner, Soledad Pastorutti, Mau & Ricky and Lali Esposito) turned. And when you choose SquadHe said “I go with the sole”.

Do not forget where you belong

Born and raised in Gaiman, Chubut, six months ago he moved to a nearby town, Dolavon, where he was making his dream come true: to sing wherever he went. Y I did it in the peñas, in the breweries, “in the places I want to go back to. I’m not one of those who forget. And I am here thanks to everything I have done and to the people who have helped me in everything ”.

Modeled in simplicity and effortremember when “going on television wasn’t on my schedule” e it was difficult to get an audience: “A little while ago I wanted to go and introduce myself to Pre Varadero and then I organized a little show to raise funds … and I only raised for a plate of food“And he couldn’t go, but he didn’t lower his arms.

“I confess this many times I was about to drop my armsbecause of the different problems we had to face, but my family and friends have always encouraged me to get up and continue, “shares Yhosva, the one with the difficult name but the easy smile. has the gift of charisma, among other gifts.

Like the one about sincerity: “Today Angela did better than me. She is a great artist. She has always done well. I had some lazy nights, but she didn’t. “And she says when she first heard her sing she said: “She will be the winner”. And intuition disappointed him.

Did the rumor that it would be good if a woman ultimately won put pressure on you?

– Pressure no, but I did not like it. I don’t like mixing: music is one thing and genre is another. If Angela wins it was because of his enormous talent, not for anything else. It seems to me that the analysis is very small when gender is imposed for no reason. I swear to you, I’m happy for me, but sad because my friend deserved to win too.

Montoya does not speak from the tape. So much so that he reveals an intimacy of his many talks with his coach: “She told me ‘You sing, show what you are singing, you don’t have to tell sad things from the past if they are not necessary. When you want to tell him, tell him. But defend yourself from art ‘. And I’ve always done it. “

the pains of the past

Now, in this phone it alerts with Clarioneremember the hardships they experienced as a low-income family. Yhosva is the youngest of four brothers (Maxi, Yadia and Perla). His mother died when he was 10.. Then Dad went back to being a couple and added two little sisters: Zoe and Ingrid.

“My mother’s death was a tremendous pain, it broke me in the middle. I didn’t know if I would be able to continue, but I could. With faith I could. And going through all the states going through a duel. It was very difficult. A silence of those who say a lot is required.

Now that he’s moved to Dolavon, He left the little house he built with his own hands to Yadia in the courtyard of his father’s house. Although “I always knew I wanted to be a musician, I had to make a living doing everything“And then he opens his soul a little more to remember his times bricklayer, greengrocer…

“I’ve done all I spent a lot of time picking weeds, for example, and I also worked in a hairdresser. I’ve always known that to move forward you have to roll up your sleeves. “The old formula of effort.

Thus came the day take his first plane in his life to prove himself in La Voz in Argentinain which his admired Soledad swore: “To me I really like folklore and La Sole is like a guide. I love. It’s so much more than what you see of her on TV. He is a teacher for everything “, gives the participant that made her a champion coach for the third time.

The last song

“I’ll tell you something semi-secret: Dorita, my vocal coach, tells me that Sole wanted me to sing this song in the final and, really, I didn’t know the lyrics. But if she wanted it, I would have given up everything to learn it. Y With a lot of fear I went up on stage a little while ago and did my best … You can see that he liked it“, he recognizes for his sublime interpretation of stone and road.
