Tania Pantoja, a prominent Cuban singer, was clearly drawn to music and performing arts from a very young age. As a child, she sang in school and was always the lead singer of her choirs. She even won a pioneering competition in which the prize was an accordion.

Since she began working as an educator in a children’s center, her charisma and her fine voice delighted the little ones, until the well-known talent scout Sonia Saavedra discovered her in a small cabaret where she heard her voice and was very impressed, recruiting her immediately.

Tania Pantoja began performing in various nightclubs. Cabaret was a great school for her, and she also recognizes José Luis Cortés (El Tosco) as one of her greatest mentors. She later joined the group Lady Salsa.

Some time later, she joined Azúcar Negra, where she remained for several years. She eventually joined Bamboleo, one of the ten most popular Cuban orchestras, directed by Lázaro Valdés. The band also featured the talented Haila María Mompié, Vannia Borges, and Megret Yordamis. This represented a significant challenge for Tania. But the young singer took on the challenge with all her characteristic charisma, quickly earning critical acclaim as a salsa phenomenon alongside renowned female performers such as Osdalgia, Laritza Bacallao, and Haila and Vania themselves.

In 2011, Tania Pantoja decided to embark on several projects, including her solo work as a performer of the Romantic, Bolero, and Feeling genres at her club in Dos Gardenias (Calle 18 No. 302, Miramar, Playa, Havana), where she performs weekly; and the creation of her own orchestra, in which she performs dance music. The first performance was at the Palacio de la Rumba (San Miguel # 860e/ Hospital y Aramburu, Centro Habana, Havana), in May 2011, where she performed as Tania Pantoja y su Piquete.

Her recording career includes her appearance on various albums in the EGREM catalogues, such as Muy exclusivo, Carhavana, Veraneando and Dí que piensas, the latter as the lead artist.

In 2011, Japanese record producer Ryu Murakami proposed that she record a solo album of ballads full of authentic Cuban flavor, which she ultimately declared she produced with great pleasure and pride, considering it a true achievement. For Tania Pantoja, overcoming the Japanese language barrier is a challenge, but she took it on, confident in her ability to reach her audience and make herself understood through pure charisma and charm.
