From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Melodía Ruiz Gutiérrez (born October 18, 1990 in Dos Hermanas, Spain), better known in the Spanish music world as Melody, is a pop singer. Some close relatives used to belong to a music group named Los Quillos.

She released her first album, Melody in 2000. Her single El Baile Del Gorila (Gorilla Dance) became a number one hit all over Latin America, even received a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Children's Album in 2002. In 2001, she had a long and extended tour throughout South America, Central America and the Caribbean. In Puerto Rico, for example, she had to do two concerts instead of one, as planned.

She released a second CD in December 2002 and she is on tour all over Latin America again in 2003. For her new tour, it was said that some cities she will visit have requested three concerts in a row to be performed by her at those locations. Her most recent project consists of her new hit single Dabadabada, which contains her Sera music video along with two other songs.
