Madrid-based singer Paula Cendejas initially shared cover versions online before developing her own approach to Latino dance music. Her introduction to listeners arrived through a 2017 upload of Luis Fonis and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito", followed soon afterward by notable renditions of Shakira and Danny Ocean. Within two years she moved into original material, releasing "Sal de Mi Cabeza" and "Otro Lugar" in 2019. Further tracks appeared in the period after, resulting in her debut EP, Contragolpe, in 2021.
