María Isabel Pantoja Martín ((:isaˈβel panˈtoxa); born August 2, 1956) is a contemporary Spanish singer. She was born in the Triana district of Seville, Spain. She has released more than a dozen albums throughout a career spanning many decades, mostly of ''copla'' genre, and is known for her distinctive Andalusian style. ==Biography== She was born in a family of musicians. Both her father and her grandfather were singers. Pantoja began performing precociously at the age of seven in the flamenco ensemble of her cousin Chiquetete. At 17 she met her "maestro" Juan Solano Pedrero, who wrote her first hits along with writer and poet Rafael de León. Pantoja cultivated copla, a genre in decline at the moment that she popularised again. Some of her early hits were "El Pájaro Verde", "Garlochí" or "El Señorito". In 1983 she released her first pop album, ''Cambiar por ti'', which included the same-title song, "En la Niebla", or "Nada". From that moment, Pantoja alternated ballads and romantic songs with copla. On 30 April 1983 she married bullfighter Francisco Rivera Pérez "Paquirri"; the wedding was widely covered by the Spanish media as they were both popular and successful and they embodied a Romantic Spain stereotype of the bullfighter and the ''"tonadillera"''. On 26 September 1984 he died in the bullring; Pantoja became known as "Spain's widow" in the media and a regular cover on gossip magazines. After a prolonged hiatus, she released the album ''Marinero de Luces'', composed by José Luis Perales, that sold one million copies in Spain. In 1988, she released ''Desde Andalucía'', an album produced by Mexican singer and songwriter Juan Gabriel. In 1989 she released ''Se me enamora el alma'', her most commercial album, with modern programmed beats, composed by Perales. In 1990, Pantoja starred in the film ''Yo soy ésa'', alongide José Coronado and Loles León, directed by Luis Sanz. A year later, she starred in another film, ''El día que nací yo'', directed by Pedro Olea, alongside Arturo Fernández and Joaquim de Almeida. Pantoja has released more than a dozen albums and has toured Spain and Latin America extensively over the years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isabel Pantoja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
