Pantera Blue is the alter ego of Louiza Hamadi Manoukoksvaia, a Spanish singer-songwriter of Russian and Algerian descent who transitioned from the world of classical piano to contemporary urban music with striking originality. Raised in Madrid and trained at the prestigious Reina Sofía School of Music, she began performing as a classical pianist at the age of eight, but eventually felt limited by the rigidity of the classical world. Embracing creative freedom, she redefined herself as Pantera Blue, blending her technical mastery with the emotional depth of R&B, reggaetón, funk, and indie pop. Her debut single “Mariposa negra” introduced her distinctive sonic universe—delicate yet bold, melancholic yet assertive—infused with poetic lyricism and a modern sensibility. In 2023, she signed with the independent label Mushroom Pillow and released her first official project, "Envergadura," a genre-blending statement of intent that showcases her evolution from prodigy to genre-defying artist. Algo Entre Tú y Yo, her first EP, arrived in 2024 and was followed by 2025's Anticuada, which featured the viral track "Lágrima."
