Mari Belén Barenys González, known as Belén Barenys (; born 28 November 1999), is a Spanish actress and singer, sometimes known by her stage name Memé . Having performed as a dubbing actress since childhood, she rose to prominence as part of the group Rigoberta Bandini. She co-created and stars in the Filmin series .

Career Barenys began dubbing roles in 2003, when she provided additional voices for the Catalan release of Brother Bear. In 2009, she also began voicing films in Spanish, with two roles in the dub of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The next year, she dubbed the voice of Princess Elizabeth in The King's Speech into both Spanish and Catalan. At the end of this year, they released the single "Ay mamá", with which they competed in Benidorm Fest 2022 for a chance to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest later that year. The single went viral and reached number one in Spain.

In early 2022, Barenys started her own music project, with the stage name Memé. ABC noted that the stage name is somewhat reminiscent of the lyrics of "Ay mamá", but that fans of Rigoberta Bandini would recognise her from the performances. She sang and rapped on the song "KSA" (by group Habla de mí en presente) as featured artist, released in January 2022 on Habla de mí en presente's album Vivir más. Mondo Sonoro wrote that KSA had "crazy rhythms" and imagination, showing that "with a good base, you can make any lyrics into a hit". In March 2022, she released her first solo single, a hyperpop song called "La contraseña del Gmail" that was considered likely divisive because of its irreverent lyrics and tone. Barenys explained that the song was about sad things, so she put it to an upbeat track so she could "dance to her own shit". El Mundo described Autodefensa and Barenys' first two singles as Memé as transgressive and "certainly not suitable for boomers."
