Not being selected to represent Spain at Eurovision was not a shock for Rigoberta Bandini, artist name of Catalan singer Paula Ribó.

After having been a singer, actress, and theater director, the performer of the hit "Ay Mamá" announced that on April 7 she will publish her first novel, Vértigo in which she will confront the crisis of her 30s.

"Vertigo is the portrait of a vital transition, of a moment in which I needed to jump into the void, as if my body knew the magnitude of the change that awaited me on the other side," the artist says in the prologue of her new book.

"In Vertigo, I wove the emotions that invaded me and I understood them thread by thread, and I realize that it is always the same threads that hurt me, that satisfy me or enervate me. My great dramas are simplified to three primary colors that are combined in different ways," she said. 

Finally, she added that "from that vertigo came this book and in that crisis is where I began to compose the songs that have changed my life. Rigoberta is already a part of Paula. Rigoberta has always been in me. Rigoberta is a little bit of all of us."

Although her name was already known in the artistic world thanks to her work in the audiovisual world and film dubbing, Paula's big media boom came in 2020 when she decided to form the band Rigoberta Bandini. Her first single "Too many drugs" was released on Feb. 28, 2020, coinciding with her pregnancy. Later, she released "In Spain we call it soledad," a song that went viral, reaching more than 200,000 monthly listens on Spotify. And then came "Ay mamá," a song in tribute to mothers, and the craze would explode.
