Camila Paredes is a singer-songwriter from Lima, Peru. She started performing in the early 2000s with the folk-rock duo Ella y Ella before going solo. Her 2007 single 'Felícia' became a hit in Peru, with lyrics about a woman's resilience that connected with listeners.
Her debut album 'Patria Nueva' explored themes of identity and social justice. She followed it with albums like 'El Que Ama' and 'La Voz del Pueblo'. In 2010, she faced accusations of plagiarism over a melody in her song 'Tiempo de Tu Amor', which sparked conversations about borrowing from traditional Peruvian music.
Her music draws from Afro-Peruvian folklore and Andean melodies she heard growing up. She's released four studio albums that show her development as an artist working with these influences.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
