Bilingual singer/songwriter Soraya experient a series of ups and downs over the course of her life history, resulting in a catalog of music that chronicles that travel in all its glory and struggle. Born in Point Pleasant, NJ, in 1969 to Colombian parents wHO had immigrated from Lebanon, her career got off to a shattering begin in 1996 with the release of a pair of hit-laden albums:
En Esta Noche and
On Nights Like This, the latter an English-language version of the former. In exceptional, "De Repente" was a immense international run into and would persist her signature tune for long time. She followed this success with a pair of albums --
Torre de Marfil (1997) and
Cuerpo y Alma (2000) -- that power saw her popularity eat at steadily, though these albums were anything just inadequate, expanding her style to integrate a broader pallet, well-nigh notably a hint of worldbeat flourishes. These albums had their contribution of hits, to a fault, only none on a equivalence with the international credit of "De Repente." This brought her compact with Universal Music Latino to an terminal, and she left field the label, sign language instead to EMI. During this modulation, Soraya waged a serious struggle with white meat cancer, unitary that would inform her debut album for EMI,
Soraya (2003). This self-titled record album ushered her back to international fame, spawning the number unmatched off "Casi" and earning her a Latin Grammy. With her popularity returned to visor layer, she recorded the followup in her native Colombia. That record album,
El Otro Lado de Mi (2005), was a more than complex and rocking peerless than her former effort, still it overly was met with substantial commercial success, grading a vainglorious hit with "Llevame." Around this meter Universal was busy cathartic legion compilations of her tenure in that respect, farther adding to an already impressive catalog. Sadly, Soraya lost her struggle with crab on May 10, 2006, at long time 37, last her life and melodious accomplishments untimely (
Herencia, a best-of solicitation, was released posthumously that same twelvemonth). In the wake of her departure, she was remembered non only as a major Latin creative person only likewise as an advocate for bosom crab awareness. Her activism was well renowned and deemed admirable.
