Mariana Massiel

Mariana Massiel Pinto Cruz (born 14 February 1998) is a Bolivian singer-songwriter and sound engineer whose music is distinguished by its fusion of elements of local tradition with a modern approach, which has led her to stand out as a prominent figure in her country's contemporary music scene.

Influenced by the rich musical heritage of Santa Cruz, Mariana seeks to reflect the cultural identity of her region without neglecting her roots. Her style reflects a deep inspiration from prominent figures in the Bolivian musical scene, including its main representative and great exponent, Gladys Moreno.

Early life and education From an early age, Massiel showed an interest in music, influenced by a family environment linked to the arts. She began her career sharing versions of songs on social networks, which allowed her to explore her affinity with acting and, later, with composition. where she graduated as the first woman to obtain that degree in her city. The lyrics explore the link between writing and musical vocation, rescuing the desire to sing since adolescence without depending on large stages to validate her career.

In the second quarter of 2022, Massiel released the song "El día llegar" (The Day Will Arrive), a work inspired by both her personal story and that of other emerging Bolivian musicians pursuing their dream of achieving success in the music industry. This composition, which fuses elements of rap and ballad, is a joint creation of Massiel and Gustavo Pinto.
