Well, I grant you, it's a very French-speaking name... But her mother is Spanish, so she falls into the Franco-Spanish singer category! She is not one of the most famous Spanish singers, but she has managed to stand out in the music charts.

While she is an actress, she begins her career as a singer thanks to a chance encounter. A French producer and composer, a certain Laurent Boutonnat, would like the song “Hasta Siempre” to be covered and interpreted by a Spanish-speaking singer. It was Nathalie Cardone who covered the song in Spanish in 1997 and it ranked n°2 in the Top 50 in France.

Once her musical career was launched, the singer began to write and released new songs (French variety or Spanish songs), and even two albums. But, no new title ranks higher than “Hasta Siempre”.
