She told her story when she was on stage because she prefers to let her music speak for her. Her music portrays her personality - her strengths, her weaknesses, her fears, her dreams, the softness about her and most of all it reveals the fact that she is indeed, a romanticist. Her presence is strong and you can't sit in the lounge and avoid her. She is there and her music is compelling. Sylvia is appearing in the newly renovated Canyon Club Restaurant at Canyon Gardens on Sundays through By TERRY MERCER Thursday from 7:00 to 11:00. On the weekends you can see her at La Bodega on Howe Street or at Cisco’s Mexican Restaurant’ for Sunday Brunch. During the course of the interview Sylvia explained that she started’ her professional singing career at the age of 10, appearing as .a regular television per- former for a children’s program, Calgary Safety Roundup. When she was 8 years old she was given a guitar for her birthday and from then on her mother couldn't stop her from Singing and dancing. Even though Sylvia sings in Spanish, English and French - and speaks each language fluently - she is often type casted as a Spanish vocalist. Perhaps this is because she is out- standing and unforgetable in popular. Not just a Spanish singer her traditional Spanish folk songs or because she often appears in many Portuguese, Spanish and Mexican restaurants in Vancouver. Sylvia smiles and pushes a piece of her dark hair behind one ear and explains that she is trying hard to get nd of that stereotype because being a Spanish singer is just one small part of her - she would like to be known for more than that and doesn't like to be strictly identified with Latin music. In fact, Sylvia sings a wide range of music - everything from classical to con- temporary. Her use of different languages adds sophisticated variety to her repertoire. . And there is no doubt about it that her feeling for music is at its best when the song is her own. Watching her perform her own songs you immediately understand that this is what she likes to do best.
