Shery

Shery (born August 18, 1985) is a Guatemalan Latin pop singer and songwriter . She has recorded songs in Spanish and Italian, and shared stage with such international superstars as Chayanne, Cristian Castro, Manuel Mijares, Miguel Bosé, Enrique Iglesias, Vikki Carr and Aleks Syntek. Two of her original compositions (namely "El amor es un fantasma" and "En la vida y para siempre") have been finalists in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, in New York.

"El amor es un fantasma" ("Love is a Ghost"), her first album, was released in January 2008 after two and a half years of production. The CD is named after the first song ever written by the artist, which debuted in radio with 26 straight weeks in the Top 40 in her natal Guatemala in 2005.

The album features 11 original songs written by Shery, a song written by legendary Spanish songwriter José Luis Perales, as well as duets with Italian producer / songwriter Francesco Sondelli, Guatemalan singer Jorge "El Bardo" and another with Cuban-American vocalist Daniel René, former member of Latin Pop band Menudo / MDO. The album includes a track mixed by Eddie Kramer, who has produced for Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss, The Rolling Stones, Joe Cocker and David Bowie.

Sources

Shery is known from his mastaba at Saqqara that was found and partly recorded in the nineteenth century AD. His wife was called Khentetek; a second woman appearing in his tomb decoration was called Inet and may have been a second wife (or mother?). Shery held the title “Overseer of all wab-priests of king Peribsen in the necropolis of king Senedj”, “Great One of the Ten of Upper Egypt” and “God´s Servant of Senedj”. Senedj´s name is written in archaic form and set in a cartouche, which is an anachronism, since the cartouche itself was not yet used until the end of 3rd dynasty under king Huni. As the latter king is little known, the titles given to Shery are of special importance. The inscription for Shery suggests to Egyptologists, such as Wolfgang Helck, that Peribsen died during the reign of Senedj and that the relationship between the two kings was a peaceful one.
