MAFALDA CARDENAL (SPAIN)

As she says herself, Mafalda Cardenal is a "normal and ordinary" girl who "sings about what happens to her." At just 24 years old, this singer-songwriter has established herself as one of the most representative voices of Generation Z in the Hispanic musical landscape.

With an approachable style, her songs function as an intimate diary that connects with thousands of young people who find a reflection of their own experiences in her lyrics. Her ability to transform the personal into the collective has turned her music into a cultural phenomenon that transcends borders.

Her career began as a childhood hobby; at just seven years old, she was already singing and dreaming of following in the footsteps of her musical role models. After graduating with a degree in Business Administration and Management, she decided to bet on her true passion: music. That courage marked the beginning of a career that today has an international projection and has positioned her as one of the most promising emerging artists in Spanish pop.

2022 was the turning point with the release of “pa que me cantes en el coche”, the track that opened the doors of the industry for her. From then on, hits like “a ella la llevas a París”, “ni hablamos” and “si tiene que ser será” followed. In 2023, her single tu fan became a viral phenomenon, reaching Top 1 in more than 25 countries and accumulating over 60 million streams on digital platforms, confirming her global impact.

Consolidated as a live performer, Mafalda embarked on her first tour “YA NO SOY TU FAN TOUR,” which took her to stages across Spain and Mexico with multiple sold-out shows.

In 2025, she presented her long-awaited debut album Mis Notas de Voz, a project featuring 18 songs written and produced by herself, conceived from WhatsApp voice notes recorded in the intimacy of her bedroom. This project, featuring no collaborations, reaffirms her authenticity and her ability to narrate personal stories with a universal language.

The album's success was reflected in massive performances: from the Vélez Sarsfield stadium in Argentina alongside Luck Ra, before more than 40,000 people, to the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico, where she shared the stage with Alejandro Sanz. These milestones consolidate her international profile and demonstrate that her music, born from personal experiences, has the power to become generational anthems that transcend cultures.

In parallel, Mafalda has starred in campaigns for major brands such as McDonald’s, Carolina Herrera, Pandora, Cupra, Iberia, Coca-Cola, and Suchard. Her participation in the 2025 Suchard Christmas commercial brought her to the small screen as an actress for the first time, reinforcing her artistic versatility. The campaign surpassed 7.5 million views on social media and consolidated her as an icon of contemporary sensitivity.

Today, Mafalda Cardenal is touring more than 25 Spanish cities with her Mis Notas de Voz Tour, after having triumphed in Latin America with more than 15 dates and performing at the main festivals in Spain. With a repertoire that includes anthems like “en mi balcón”, “solo un nombre” and “vete a la luna”, her proposal stands as a new era of Spanish youth pop.

What began with a pink guitar and a broken heart is now a solid artistic project, capable of moving and representing an entire generation.
