Ana Torroja Fungairino was born in 1959 in Spain, as the eldest of six children. She developed a passion for singing from a young age, often performing in front of a mirror with a guitar and around the piano played by her father. However, she never took her singing seriously until she met Jos María Cano at a party around the age of 15.
The two began to meet and sing together, interpreting songs that Jos had composed. This beloved duo eventually joined Nacho Cano, and Ana became the lead vocalist of the trio Mecano in 1981. The trio was characterized by its exceptional compositions and Ana's dazzling voice, which often played male roles in their songs.
Mecano released nine studio albums, including "Mecano" in 1982, "Where This Fairy Country?" in 1983, and "Now Comes the Sun" in 1984. The group's discography also includes "Mecano En Concierto" in 1985, "Between the Sky and the Ground" in 1986, "Descanso Dominical" in 1988, "Aidali" in 1991, "Ana |" Jos | Nacho" in 1998, and "Mecano Discography" in 2005.
Ana's most successful songs with Mecano include "Today I Can't Lift," "Child of the Moon," "I Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte," "Ay, Heavy Qu," "The Force of Destiny," and "Seven September." In 1990, Ana worked on two tracks for the group "Dr. Livingstone," providing backing vocals.
After two years, Ana embarked on the Aidalai 91-92 tour, which led to serious vocal problems. Mecano eventually disbanded, with the promise of returning to the stage in 1994. In 1997, Ana collaborated with Deep Forest on the song "Half Moon" from their album "Comparsa."
Ana launched her solo career in 1997 with the release of her first album, "Cardinal Points." The album broke singles artist with songs like "A Contratiempo," "From," and "Like a Dream of Sirens."
