Intro

Rigoberta Bandini sounds like the smartest person at the party decided to take over the DJ booth and turn the night into a collective therapy session. Her music is built on shimmering electronic foundations, blending the infectious energy of Euro-disco with the structural precision of musical theater. There is a specific warmth to her digital sound, a 'bedroom pop' intimacy that expands into massive, stadium-sized choruses without losing its human touch.

What truly sets her apart is the intersection of her background as a playwright and voice actress with her songwriting. She doesn't just sing; she performs, using her voice to inhabit different characters, from the vulnerable mother to the defiant iconoclast. Her lyrics are masterclasses in modern Spanish 'costumbrismo,' taking everyday objects or situations and elevating them to the level of myth or political statement, all while maintaining a sharp, satirical wit.

Start with 'Ay Mamá' to experience her power as a cultural lightning rod, then move to 'In Spain We Call It Soledad' for her unique brand of danceable melancholy. It is music that demands you move your body while simultaneously engaging your brain, making it the perfect soundtrack for anyone who finds the act of living to be a beautiful, messy performance.

Paula Ribó González (born 30 April 1990), is a Spanish singer, actress and playwright best known for her musical project Rigoberta Bandini, for which she writes, performs, and produces the music. Ribó's multi-departmental professional career started at age seven, when she provided the Iberian Spanish dubbing voice work for the title character of the children animated series Caillou. She continued to work as a voice actress in both Catalan and Castilian for international firms such as Universal and Disney starring in big productions such as Peter Pan and Brave, as well as in film series like The Twilight Saga or The Divergent Series and musical films such as Les Misérables, Sing and Frozen. She also has been the regular Spanish-dubbed voice of Emma Stone, Dakota Fanning and Shailene Woodley. After graduating Institut del Teatre, she ventured into the music scene in 2011 alongside two college friends with the formation The Mamzelles. They released two studio albums. In parallel to her contribution in film, Ribó created her own theatre production company, directed four plays, started in six, and wrote other four. She also starred in selected Catalan television films and series. In 2019, Ribó launched her second musical project under the pseudonym Rigoberta Bandini. Her third single, "In Spain We Call It Soledad", released in 2020, became viral on Spotify and launched Bandini into stardom. She achieved national recognition in 2022 placing as the runner-up at the Benidorm Fest in the run to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song "Ay mamá", which became her first entry in and first number one song on the Spanish charts.
