Ana Belén returns to tour after six years with Más d Ana and will perform a double concert in the Canary Islands as part of the Mar Abierto 2025 Festival.
Ana Belén has announced a new album and the launch of her first tour in six years starting in the spring of 2025, with more than 20 concerts throughout Spain, including those in Fuerteventura and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on October 18 and 19, respectively. This tour will begin on April 26th at the Teatro Auditorio in Roquetas de Mar (Almería), and will continue on May 13th in Valladolid (C.C. Miguel Delibes), on the 16th in Bilbao (Euskalduna Palace), on June 21st in Zaragoza (Mozart Hall), and on June 27th in Mérida, among other dates. Titled Más d Ana, it will be a tour in which she will review her greatest hits and "some new songs from her imminent next album" that will be released "at the beginning of the year," according to the promoter's statement, which also details that the artist will be accompanied by a band led by her son, David San José. It has been 6 years since "Vida", Ana Belén's last official tour. And for an artist who has spent almost her entire life on stage, that is too long. 2025 will undoubtedly be a prolific year for the artist, with the announced tour, album and a film release.
Ana Belén grew up in a humble family on Oso Street, next to the Embajadores roundabout in the Lavapiés neighborhood (Madrid, Spain). She is the eldest of three siblings. Her father was a cook at the Hotel Palace and her mother was a caretaker of an estate. She spent her childhood summers in Cabezuela (Segovia), where her father is from and where her grandmother, Matilde Bravo, was from. She worked as a teacher at the town school. She studied at the Colegio de las Damas Apostólicas (Apostolic Ladies' School); there she had her first appearance on stage in a story entitled El enanito saltorín (The Jumping Dwarf). From a very young age she felt an artistic calling and so, while studying music theory and piano with the maestro Estebarena, who lived on the same street as her, she began to enter children's radio competitions, such as Gran Vía or Conozca Usted a Sus Vecinos (Get to Know Your Neighbors), in which she sang popular songs such as La novia (The Bride), La flor de la canela (The Cinnamon Flower), Nena (Sara Montiel's Baby) or Tómbola (Marisol's Tombola). At the age of ten, she took part in a Radio España competition called Vale todo (Today's Prize), directed by Bobby Deglané on Madrid's Gran Vía; She entered the modern music section and performed La novia. She didn't win the competition that year, but she did the following year with the song La flor de la canela, a famous song by the Peruvian singer-songwriter Chabuca Granda, which was sung at the time with great impact by María Dolores Pradera. She participated in other competitions with Juan de Toro, on Radio Madrid, where she sang four songs accompanied by the maestro Aguayo (El ritmo de la lluvia, Cúlpale a la bossa nova, La novia and La flor de la canela).
