Ana Torroja (born December 28, 1959) is a Latin Grammy Award-nominated Spanish vocalist and lead singer of the trio Mecano, which has sold millions of albums. She was born in Madrid and is the daughter of a noted engineer.
Biography:
Ana Torroja met José María Cano while studying economics at university. The two became good friends, and José María soon introduced her to his younger brother, Nacho. After hearing Ana sing José María's guitar compositions, Nacho suggested that the three form a band. In 1981, Mecano was formed.
After seven Mecano albums and much success in Europe and Latin America, the long months of continuous touring began taking its toll on the band. Ana was especially affected and started developing vocal problems. In 1993, the band announced a temporary split. While José and Nacho composed solo albums, Ana chose to travel around the world and visited Hawaii, Bombay, and New York—places she had sung about while with Mecano. She eventually settled in New York and took dance classes.
By 1997, Ana felt confident enough to sing again and moved to London to record her first solo album, Puntos Cardinales. The album marked a curious change for Ana. Because her new songs were not written from a male point of view—unlike the Mecano hits written by the Cano brothers—she felt that she could express herself as a woman for the first time. The first single from the album, A Contratiempo, was a Spanish-language cover of an old Bette Midler song, "Bottomless."
In 1998, partially due to the expense and commercial failure of José María's opera project, Mecano reunited for the double-disc greatest hits compilation Ana, José, Nacho, which also featured seven new songs.
Ana's biggest solo success came in 1999 with her album, Pasajes de un Sueno. This album was hailed by critics and the first single, Ya No Te Quiero, became one of the best-selling songs in Spain that year.
Daughter born in August 2005.
In 2006, Ana edited a new studio album called Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte. The album contained new versions of old Mecano hits. The first single was Los Amantes, which reached 10 on the Spanish charts. Her second single with Psy 4 de la Rime is "Hijo De La Luna" was released in Spain January 2007
