Ela Taubert, a name that reverberates across the Latin music scene, traces her journey from the streets of Bogotá to international acclaim. Born Manuela Pardo Taubert in 2000, she grew up in a nurturing environment, propelled by her mother’s unwavering support for her musical inclinations. Early performances—cocooned in the safety of anonymity—during the COVID-19 pandemic saw her brave the digital stage, posting covers on TikTok that resonated far and wide, igniting her path into the mainstream.
With her 2023 EP, “¿Quién Dijo Que Era Fácil?,” she began to carve out a space for herself, expressing universal experiences through the lens of her vibrant Latin upbringing. The allure of her heartfelt storytelling drew rediscovered attention with the viral “¿Cómo Pasó?” featuring Joe Jonas, which rose to dizzying heights, cementing her place in cultural consciousness. Yet, this is just the beginning of her narrative, not merely a bullet-pointed list of achievements.
In a landscape often dominated by louder voices, Ela’s approach is both tender and relentless. She captures the essence of self-love, heartbreak, and empowerment, reflecting on her evolution, heralded in her album “Preguntas a las 11:11.” The title alone hints at the introspective nature of her lyrics—questions emerging from personal turmoil and growth, weaving a tapestry of internal questioning.
As she continues to navigate her burgeoning career, it seems that the essence of her artistry lies not just in her success but in her willingness to forge a connection between her past and present. In her words, “I embrace it, I defend it and I proudly wrap myself in it.” For Ela Taubert, the journey is ongoing, her story still unfolding, inviting us to witness the chapters of her life through music, one heartfelt lyric at a time.
