Isabel Pantoja 2023 U.S. Tour in Chicago

Spanish singer Isabel Pantoja, one of the most renowned copla singers of Spain, presents her “Enamórate” tour in Chicago.

Since releasing her first album in her native Spain in 1974, Isabel Pantoja has risen to become one of the country’s most recognizable stars and is affectionately known by the nickname Tonadillera. With a career spanning 40 years and 18 platinum albums, Isabel Pantoja brings her Enamórate tour to North America.

About the artist

Isabel Pantoja is considered one of the greatest vocal practitioners of the traditional copla — a form of Spanish popular song deriving from the poetic form of the same name. Raised in a working-class family, the daughter of a male flamenco singer and a female dancer, Isabel Pantoja was strongly influenced by her parents to become an artist, debuting on stage at the age of seven.

Though her Andalusian take on the folk style is highly orchestrated, her detailed attention to narrative, melody, drama, and rhythm, is singular. Since the mid-’80s, she has expanded her repertoire to include romantic pop ballads, releasing more than a dozen albums.
