Maria Conchita

about

Maria Conchita (b. María Conchita Alonso, 29 Jun 1957 - aka María Conchita), is a Grammy Award-nominated Cuban-born Venezuelan singer & actress. Alonso became the front woman of the band Ámbar in 1979, and started a career as a recording artist in 1982, with the release of "Dangerous Rhythm". In what is generally considered to be her best known song, she was asked by Giorgio Moroder to sing his version of "Vamos a Bailar" which he had written to be part of the soundtrack for the film Scarface. The song instantly became a classic amongst Spanish speakers despite failing to garner any major attention outside of Cuba where it was recorded. As her two albums with Ambar and her solo debut were recorded in English, it was her second album "Maria Conchita" from 1984 that made her a singing star in the Spanish-speaking market, receiving a "Best Latin Artist" Grammy nomination for it in 1985.
