LENA

Cuban singer-songwriter Lena Perez is a star born to stars. Her mother is the famous musician Malena Burke, and her grandmother is the late and legendary Elena Burke, who is considered a matriarch in Cuban music. At the tender age of 7, Lena was honing her skills as a classical pianist and eventually gained a knack for writing as well. It wasn't until she graduated as a concert pianist that she took some time off from the piano and realized that she also had a strong and sultry voice. Her recent self-titled CD, Lena (Warner Music Latina), features her songs written in a romantic pop/rock vein and shows the amazing wealth of talent and vocal prowess inherent in this young woman. Her self-penned first single, "Tú Corazon," is a duet with world-renowned singer-songwriter Alejandro Sanz. The song is an anthem for love, showcasing this musical prodigy and promising to propel her to greater heights.
