Emily Galaviz
Emily Sarahí Galaviz Osuna (born 18 April 2007) is a Venezuelan llanera music singer. She rose to prominence in 2022 after appearing on the Venezuelan television talent contest Talento de Corazón Juvenil on TVES, and is known for her renditions of well-known joropo and llanero standards.
By late 2024 she had received a Spotify gold record in Colombia after passing four million streams, and her video "Popurrí 01" had surpassed 10 million views on YouTube, making it one of the most-watched llanera music videos on the platform. Across social media she has accumulated more than four million followers, the largest following of any artist in the genre.
Early life
Galaviz was raised in the Venezuelan llanos (plains) region, where she was exposed to traditional música criolla venezolana from childhood.
Career
Galaviz began performing as a child. Her career broke into the mainstream in 2022 after a notable run on the talent programme Talento de Corazón Juvenil on TVES. She subsequently signed with the production company Total Show Entertainment, with which she recorded her first single, "Mi Triste Realidad".
She is known for performing songs originally recorded by other llanera artists, but with melodic and rhythmic variations. The first such recording was "Guayabo Zarandiao" (originally by Mayra Tovar), included in her medley "Popurrí 01"; the release helped to bring her to wider attention together with her band Los Galaviez. She subsequently released similar medleys under the "Popurrí" title.
In September 2024 Galaviz began her first national tour of Venezuela. In December 2024 she joined fellow llanera singers Araima Amezquita and Yennifer Mora on a United States tour titled Las Divas del Folklore, visiting Miami, Atlanta, Austin, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Orlando, Tampa, Houston, Chicago and Columbus.
