Abisag Castro Scharbay grew up in Havana, Cuba, where she absorbed the sounds of Cuban son, bolero, and trova from an early age. Her family background in music gave her a foundation that would later inform her work.
In 1996, she released her debut album "Me Asignaron Para Este Siglo," which included the title track that became her most recognized song. The album established her presence in Latin music with its thoughtful approach to contemporary themes.
Her music often addresses social issues, though she has worked within an industry that presented particular challenges. She has continued to create music that reflects her perspective without conforming to conventional expectations.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
