Currículum vitae
El dueto Soberanes está formado por el matrimonio que constituyen la cantante Isela Arredondo y el guitarrista Heriberto Soberanes.
Heriberto Soberanes, nacido el 8 de junio de 1953 en Guasave, Sinaloa, es concertista en Guitarra Clásica con estudios en el Conservatorio Nacional de Música, premiado en importantes concursos de guitarra del país, Premio Estatal de las Artes en 1998, e Hijo Predilecto de Guasave en 1999, es hoy director de la Escuela de música de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa. En la música popular -faceta que también cultiva- ha integrado diversos conjuntos románticos de guitarras y voces: “Los trinos”, Cuarteto “Buenaventura”, Cuarteto “Soberanes”, y actualmente, Dueto “Soberanes”. En todos los casos contando con la voz de Isela Arredondo, “mi compañera en el arte y en la vida desde 1982”.
Isela Arredondo, guasavense también, pertenece a una prestigiada dinastía de músicos profesionales. Destacó desde pequeña en el arte del canto, y se perfeccionó con cursos y consejos que grandes maestros de la especialidad le dieron. Isela tuvo la visión de construir un estilo interpretativo totalmente personal. El encuentro entre los dos, hoy integrantes del dueto Soberanes, obedeció a la circunstancia sentimental que los llevaría a un feliz matrimonio; de allí a lo profesional solo hubo un paso.
El dueto Soberanes ha recorrido un largo camino en los escenarios del país y aún de los EEUU: salas de concierto, casas de la cultura, programas de radio y televisión, etc. han sido medios por los que, a través de su extensa carrera, han hecho llegar a los amantes de la música fina, su mensaje.
