Young Spanish singer, composer, musician and actress Beatriz Luengo's Bela y Sus Moskitas Muertas features 12 new songs, including collaborations with Ziggy Marley, Yotuel Romero (Orishas), and Jesus Navarro (Reik).

"I love the Latin music of the 1960s, British pop, hip hop and Bob Marley," says Beatriz, who identifies herself with artists like Eliza Doolittle, Bruno Mars or Jessie J.

Como Tú No Hay 2" (the album's first single), is about a princess that can be any girl today, who has "no gold, wealth or fame, but has a knight who would kill for her with his sword," Beatriz says. "My prince is not blond with blue eyes. My prince has piercings and Rasta style hair, and I am a princess who arrives in a traveling circus." That's what she wants to convey with her lyrics, that to be a princess in 2011 doesn't mean one has to be linked to material things, to money, to the physical.

The themes of her songs reflect self-empowerment. A track like "Chicas de Revista," for example, is very sarcastic, with plenty of double entendres and pop culture references. "It mirrors what we are told in magazines, and the ways we are advised to incorporate that information into our lives," she says.

With Bela y Sus Moskitas Muertas, Beatriz proves that her music is not just a question of language, but of sound. A sound that has managed to break down the barriers of language.
