Timeline

1959

Ana Torroja Fungairiño, 3rd Marchioness of Torroja (born 28 December 1959 in Madrid), is a Spanish singer.

1980

She was the lead singer of the pop trio Mecano, considered one of the most popular pop bands from Spain during the 1980s and 1990s.

1981

In 1981, at 22 years old she became the vocalist of Mecano.

After seven Mecano albums and huge success in Europe and Latin America, the continuous touring began taking its toll on the band.

Ana was especially affected and started developing vocal problems.

In an interview the artist recalls: ''“I am a person, even if it may not seem so, very shy and I am also a very reserved person with my other part, with my other half, with Ana just.

So, being so exposed made me feel very vulnerable and that vulnerability became almost, almost agoraphobia, it didn't really become agoraphobia.

but I say it like this to explain a little what I felt, it scared me, I didn't want to go outside because it couldn't be me, because people immediately screamed, they went crazy, they wanted to touch you, they wanted to hug you, they wanted to hear from you, I felt like... how to explain it...

like some kind of freak, and I didn't like that feeling.”''

1993

In 1993, the band announced a temporary split.

While José and Nacho released solo albums, Ana chose to travel around the world and visited Hawaii, Mumbai, and New York City—places she had sung about while with Mecano.

She eventually settled in New York and took dance classes.

1997

By 1997, Ana felt confident enough to sing again and moved to London to record her first solo album, Puntos Cardinales (Cardinal points).

The album, produced by Tony Mansfield, 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".

Both the album and the single went to No.1 in Spain.

1998

Mecano split in 1998 and she embarked on a solo career.

Formally styled Marquesa de Torroja, she succeeded to the title upon her father's death in 2021.

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 1998, partially due to the cost 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.

1999

Ana's biggest solo success came in 1999 with her album, Pasajes de un Sueño (Passages of a dream).

This album was hailed by critics and the first single, "Ya No Te Quiero" ("I don't love you anymore" or "I don't want you anymore"), became one of the best-selling songs in Spain that year.

2000

As a part of the promotion of this album, Torroja undertook, together with Miguel Bosé the Girados tour in May 2000, throughout Spain, the United States, and part of Latin America.

The tour concluded at the beginning of the following year.

2001

In 2001, Ana tried to reconquer the French audience she had won over at the time of Mecano, recording the album Ana Torroja.

She then took part in the recording of the disc Duetos 2 by the Mexican artist Armando Manzanero, with whom she recorded the song "Nada personal" ("Nothing personal").

2003

In 2003 she published her third album Frágil (Fragile), in which she presented a more genuine pop-based image.

For the album, she appeared for the first time solo on stage, in a brief tour across America and Europe called the Gira Frágil (Fragile Tour).

It was this material that consolidated her success as a solo artist, and with which she also obtained numerous nominations and prizes such as the Grammy Latino, Shangay (Spain) and Oye (Mexico).

2004

Shortly afterwards, she took a brief break from her musical career, guesting with artists such as Mexican singer, composer, and keyboard player Aleks Syntek in 2004.

She dueted with Syntek on the song "Duele el Amor" ("Love hurts"), which was a major commercial success.

That same year she did a duet with Italian singer Gigi D'Alessio, a new song called "Bacio" ("kiss") in Italian, a cover of the same song also sung by Gigi D'Alessio with Anna Tatangelo.

2006

In 2006, Ana released a new studio album called Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte, produced by Syntek.

The album contained new versions of old Mecano hits.

The first single was "Los Amantes", which reached No. 2 on the Spanish charts.

2008

In 2008, Ana decided to work with Schiller, singing Por qué te vas, which went to Number One in the Sehnsucht album charts in (Germany).

On 17 May 2008, Ana Torroja was invited by Aleks Syntek to take part in the macro concert of the Fundación ALAS, in aid of children in Latin America.
