Patricia Kraus (Spanish pronunciation: [paˈtɾiθja kɾaws]; born 4 January 1964) is a Spanish singer, best known for her participation in the 1987 Eurovision Song Contest.
Early life
Kraus was born in Milan, Italy.[1] Kraus' father was Alfredo Kraus, a Spanish tenor. As a youngster, Kraus trained as a classical vocalist, but later opted for pop-rock music in preference.
Career
In 1987, Kraus was chosen internally by
No estás solo" ("You're Not Alone"). It was not seen by commentators as a Eurovision-friendly song, and at the 1987 Eurovision, held on 9 May in Brussels, could only place 19th out of the 22 entries.[2] The performance is nowadays remembered more for the strange heavy make-up Kraus wore than for the song itself.[3]
Kraus released her first self-titled album shortly after her Eurovision appearance. Further albums followed, including two of experimental
Operación Triunfo
, and released a solo album, Alma, in 2007. Kraus, along with Assante and Italian musicians Enrico Barbaro and Gherardo Catanzaro, is currently working under the name of Vintage Club Band.
