She attended Catholic School where she had known as “the belly dancer girl”. At the age of ten, she began performing in various parties and events and very soon became popular in the local area.

Career

By selling over 7 million copies worldwide it became a bigger blockbuster hit than her third album “Pies Descalzos“. Later, it became the best-selling Spanish album in the United States with a total sale of 1.5 million alone in the US.
