Camila Cabello was born in Cuba in 1997, but moved to Miami with her parents - like many Cubans - when she was five. After participating in the American version of the X-Factor, she became a member of girl group Fifth Harmony. In 2016, she went solo and her star quickly rose to enormous heights. She collaborated with such popular artists as Shawn Mendes, Charlie XCX and J Balvin. With her album
… Familia, she showcases her Cuban and - on her father's side - Mexican roots. South American folklore sounds pass by, but of course placed within the framework of contemporary pop. That is why neither autotune nor the voice of Ed Sheeran are absent on the album. The lyrics of Familia are like Cabello's diary. Honest, but sometimes not very poetic. Because she sings in English and Spanish, she has everything to follow in the footsteps of great Latin stars like Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias. (JV)more
