EDITH MÁRQUEZ - ETERNA E INOLVIDABLE

Like Justin Timberlake or Ricky Martin, the versatile singer-actor Edith Márquez graduated from a teen pop group to become a solo star – in her case, Mexico’s “Reina de las Baladas” (Queen of the Ballads). A childhood winner of TV singing competitions including ‘Canta, Canta’ (Sing, Sing) and ‘Juguemos a Cantar’ (Let’s Play at Singing), Márquez joined the band Timbiriche in 1987 at age 14 – just in time to help record their platinum-selling double album ‘Timbiriche VIII & IX.’ At the same time, Márquez was also acting in the popular TV sitcom ‘Papá Soltero’ (Single Father).

Since leaving Timbiriche in 1991, Márquez has enjoyed a long and successful career as a big-voiced singer of both pop songs and Mexican regional styles. Her 1998 solo debut, ‘Frente a Ti’ (In Front of You), included the stirring hits “Mi Error, Mi Fantasía” and “Mírame” (Look at Me), songs she still performs. Her subsequent albums include ‘Caricias del Cielo’ (Caresses of Heaven, 2000), ‘Extraviate’ (Lose Your Way, 2001), and ‘Cuando Grita la Piel’ (When the Skin Screams, 2005).
