Yolanda Pinares grew up in Guamúchil, Sinaloa, where she started singing despite some resistance from her community. She put out her first album, 'Si No Te Hubiera Conocido,' in 1999. A couple years later came 'Lejos de Tu Amor,' the song that really stuck with people.
Her music often dealt with heartbreak and resilience in plain terms, which connected with listeners but sometimes drew criticism. In 2007, her song 'La Mala' sparked debate over its portrayal of relationships. She kept writing and releasing music through those years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
