Mini bio
How it started.
Born in France to Chilean parents in exile during the Pinochet dictatorship, Ana moved to Chile as a teenager. She found her place in Santiago’s hip-hop scene and became known with Makiza. The group’s “La Rosa de los Vientos” explored displacement and belonging, themes she still returns to.
Finding her own voice.
Her collaboration with Julieta Venegas on “Eres para mí” reached Latin pop audiences in 2006. The solo album 1977 brought wider international recognition, and its title track later appeared in Breaking Bad. La Bala and Vengo connected her music with student protest, feminism and solidarity across borders.
Life, on her own terms.
After a decade between studio albums, she returned with Vida in 2024. Working with longtime producer Andrés Celis, she turned personal loss into songs that make room for dancing and grief together. She also published the memoir Sacar la voz in 2023. Recent projects include Serpiente de madera with Hordatoj and 97 with DJ Dacel.
