Olga Tañón

Olga Tañón, born on April 13, 1967, in Santurce, Puerto Rico, is one of the most powerful and enduring voices in Latin music. Known as “La Mujer de Fuego” for her electrifying stage presence and energetic delivery, she began her career in the late 1980s as a member of the all-female merengue group Chantelle. Her talent quickly stood out, and by the early 1990s, she launched a solo career that would redefine the tropical genre for women.

Tañón became a household name with her vibrant mix of merengue, Latin pop, and ballads. Her breakout hits - “Es Mentiroso,” “Basta Ya,” “Como Olvidar,” and “Muchacho Malo” - topped charts across the Americas. Known for combining emotion with rhythm, her music resonates with both partygoers and romantics alike.

Over her nearly 40-year career, Olga has sold millions of records worldwide. She has won two Grammy Awards and four Latin Grammy Awards, making her one of Puerto Rico’s most awarded female artists. Her live performances have sold out major venues and festivals throughout Latin America, the U.S., and Europe.

Beyond her music, Tañón is a strong advocate for humanitarian causes and Puerto Rican identity, frequently using her platform to speak out on issues affecting the Island and the broader Latino community.

With unmatched passion and discipline, Olga Tañón remains a force in Latin music, proving that her fire — and her influence — only grow stronger with time.
