In 1996, she concentrated completely on the recording of her album Interior, for which she invited other important Uruguayan artists, with some of whom she had shared previous projects. Among this group of arrangers, musicians, and composers were Alberto Magnone, Hugo Fattoruso, Bernardo Aguerre, Hugo Jasa, and Esteban Klísich. This work marked her debut as a composer. Following this, she received an invitation from Federico García Vigil, the Director of the Montevideo Philharmonic Orchestra, to participate in a new edition of the show Tango Galas. The show brought together the orchestra's stringed instruments, piano, guitar, bandoneons, singers, and dancers. Other singers like Gustavo Nocetti, Susana Rinaldi, Daniel Cortés, Eladia Blázquez, Darío Solari, and Miguel Ángel Maidana have also performed with the Philharmonic. On this occasion, the Philharmonic and Canoura gave a tour around Brazil, passing through the cities of Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo.

Culminating in 1994, Canoura carried out a series of performances with the Symphonic Band of the City of Montevideo. Omar Varela, director of the Italia Fausta theater company, offered her the lead role playing French actress Edith Piaf in a musical/theatrical work based on the book by English author Pam Gems.

In March 1993, at the Film Festival of the City of Montevideo, the music video of the song "Todo lo que quiero" was awarded the first prize. Another video clip that achieved success was "Nada vale más" from the album edited the previous year, "Las cosas que aprendí en los discos," for which Canoura was invited to participate in the international programming of MTV. In June, Canoura performed in the Memorial of Latin America in San Pablo, and at the end of the year, she was awarded the Fabini Award for best pop singer at the Solís Theater.

At the end of 1991, she edited her second solo album, entitled "Puedes oírme," produced by Jaime Roos. In addition to this musician, Canoura received the instrumental support of Estela Magnone, Hugo Fattoruso, Bernardo Aguerre, Jorge Nocetti, Andrés Recagno, and Nelson Cedrez. This album, edited in vinyl and cassette, was released shortly thereafter as a CD that also included her first solo album. This CD earned golden status.

In 1990 and 1991, the artist offered successful performances of this album in several places throughout Uruguay, including several performances at the Solís Theater in Montevideo. The album made it to the top spots among the country's most sold albums, achieving gold and platinum status. This made Canoura the first female artist to achieve these recognitions.

Toward the end of 1988 Canoura begins performances of the show "Las tres" alongside Estela Magnone and Mariana Ingold (who yielded her spot shortly thereafter to Flavia Ripa). "Las tres" was a show presented at La Barranca, where each musician performed her own repertoire, accompanied by the other two group members, as well as three other musicians. The album from this show would be edited the following year, achieving a level of sales that would earn it gold status.

In 1987 Rumbo broke up, beginning the prolific personal careers of Ubal and Canoura. Beginning in the middle of 1987 and throughout the following year, Canoura resumes her artistic activity, performing alongside Esteban Klísich and Mauricio Ubal in two series of shows in Montevideo which received a large public response.

Throughout 1984 and parallel to her career in Rumbo, Canoura began work on a solo album, which featured the artistic production of Jaime Roos and the musical support of the group Repique, which was made up of Andrés Recagno, Alberto Magnone, Gustavo Etchenique, and Carlos "Boca" Ferreira. This work was completed the following year with the release of Canoura's first solo album, "Esa Tristeza."

Their first full-length recording, entitled "Para abrir la noche," was edited by the label Ayuí / Tacuabé in 1980. In the following years, they edited the two other albums that would make up their discography: "Sosteniendo la pared" in 1982 and "Otro tiempo" in 1985 and offered concerts around Uruguay, performing on several occasions in Buenos Aires as well.

Starting at the beginning of 1979 her connection began with musicians Mauricio Ubal, Gonzalo Moreira, Gustavo Ripa, Miguel López and Carlos Vicente, which led to the founding of the group Rumbo. They offered their first performance in the Teatro Astral in June 1979.

Canoura was born in Montevideo. In 1978 she finished her studies in theater at the school of actors Roberto Fontana and Nelly Goitiño. Shortly afterward, her participation in the Conservatorio del Núcleo de Estudios Musicales gave her the opportunity to meet several musicians with whom she would form the group Rumbo.

Laura Canoura (born January 2, 1957) is a singer and composer of popular Uruguayan music. She is considered one of the most renowned female solo artists in Uruguay.
