Marilyn Torres

Marilyn Torres came up in Barcelona, where she studied classical guitar and flamenco before starting to perform locally. Her debut album 'En Cambio Por Qué' arrived in 2004, and its title track became a hit across Spanish-speaking audiences. That record mixed traditional Spanish sounds with pop, which helped define her early work.

She followed with the album 'Cicatrices' in 2009, which took a more experimental turn and addressed difficult subjects like domestic violence. Songs like 'No Puedo Amarte' and 'Torn' show the kind of emotional weight she often brought to her writing.

In 2006, she faced plagiarism accusations over a melody in 'No Me Dejes Ir,' though those were eventually dismissed. The episode briefly complicated her public standing, but she kept recording and performing afterward.
