Bertha Patricia Manterola Carrión, known professionally as Patricia Manterola, was born in Mexico City, Mexico, on April 23, 1972. From an early age, she displayed a notable aptitude for music and entertainment. At eight years old, Patricia secured a lead role in the musical comedy “Anita la Huerfanita” (Annie). Her early career progressed when she participated in the “Juguemos a Cantar” festival in 1982, reaching the finals and contributing to a compilation album. This early exposure paved the way for further opportunities. Patricia’s foray into modeling led her to meet renowned Mexican producer Luis de Llano in 1989. De Llano, recognizing her potential, invited her to join Garibaldi, a popular music group that achieved considerable success throughout Latin America, the United States, and Europe.
Following her tenure with Garibaldi, Patricia embarked on a solo music career, releasing her first album “Hambre de Amor.” This move marked a significant turning point, enabling her to transition into acting. In 1994, she secured a leading role in the telenovela “Acapulco, Cuerpo y Alma,” which was broadcast in over 73 countries, solidifying her status as an international star. Her performance earned her the newcomer of the year award from “TV y Novelas” magazine. Manterola continued to take on significant roles in television productions, including “Angeles,” the Spanish-language adaptation of “Charlie’s Angels,” and made a special guest appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Her film credits include “The City of Lost Souls,” “The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood,” “Carman: The Champion,” and “The Perfect Game.”
Throughout her career, Patricia Manterola has released eight music albums, with notable works such as “Niña Bonita” and “Que El Ritmo No Pare.” The latter became the official song for “The 2002 Cycling Tour of Spain” and the theme song for the “FIFA World Cup Korea – Japan 2002.” She was also recognized as the queen of the Viña del Mar festival twice. More recently, Patricia has served as co-host for Telemundo’s “Siempre Niños” and “La Voz Kids,” and continues to release new music, including her single “Alalaleo.” Beyond entertainment, Manterola is an advocate for animal rights and education, actively participating in philanthropic initiatives.
