Chenoa was born in Mar de Plata (Argentina) on June 25, 1975, although her family moved to Spain when she was 8. Her parents were both musicians and they used to work in hotels as singers in live music shows, so Chenoa has lived and breathed music since birth.
At the age of 16, Chenoa began to sing professionally taking part in her parent's show. Her mother fell ill and Chenoa had to stand in for her.
She graduated as a teacher in nursery school, and started performing in the Casino de Mallorca shows when she was 20. There, Chenoa acquired a good stage presence before entering the first edition of the Spanish TV show Operación Triunfo in 2001.
Her first album was “Chenoa”, released in April 2002 in Spain. The first single was Atrévete, a song whose English version is also included in the album as Mystify, but the greatest hit of this CD was Cuando tu vas, danced all over Spain in the summer of '02. “Chenoa” sold over 500,000 copies in Spain after 61 weeks in Top 100 chart, and she was nominated for the Spanish music industry awards Premios Amigo as best female new artist, and best female artist. Year 2002 finished with a Spanish tour that included more than 70 dates.
In April 2003 Chenoa took part in Eurobest, an European song contest in which she performed "It's raining men”. Her great stage presence led her to victory.
The unplugged album “Mis canciones favoritas” was Chenoa’s second CD. It was recorded in Barcelona in April 2003, and included some of her favorite songs, such as: Man in the mirror, Respect, Chain of fools or Love of my life. This CD+DVD was released on a limited edition of 100,000 copies for fans.
“Soy Mujer” was the chosen title for her second studio album, recorded in Miami and Madrid in 2003. Pop, rock, and latin, arab and anglosaxon sounds are mixed in this CD, which reached number one in the Spanish album chart, and sold more than 230,000 copies after 47 weeks in the Top 100. "En tu cruz me clavaste", "Soy lo que me das", "Siete Pétalos", "Dame and Soy Mujer were the singles released. Chenoa was nominated again for the Premios Amigo award as best female artist and completed an 80-date tour in Spain. In 2004 she was nominated for the Tu Música award as best new artist, in Puerto Rico.
In May and June 2004 she started “Soy Mujer” promotional tour around Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Argentina. In December she visited Panama, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic.
In April 2005 the Spanish Radio and Television Associations Federation awarded her the Micrófono de Oro 2005. Venezuela has also awarded Chenoa in 2005 with the Mara de Oro 2005 to the best new international artist of the year.
November was the month chosen for the release of Chenoa's third studio album "Nada es igual". In this pop-rock CD we find a new direction in Chenoa’s music, as it has been produced by Dado Parisini (Laura Pausini, Nek, Tears for Fears), and recorded in Milan. “Nada es igual" it's not only a sample of her musical evolution, but also of her new personal challenge. Rutinas is the first single.
Chenoa has still been going strong in the Spanish Charts, although most other reality TV show stars die out soon after. In 2004, her song Dame topped the Spanish charts for three weeks. In 2005, her song Rutinas (Routines) from her new album released in Nov 2005 reached number 4 on its first week, which is a great achievement.

Libertad
Chenoa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La sombra que busqué
Refugio de mi piel
Está dentro de mí
Gente que no está
Que fueron y serán raíces de mi fe
Se han quedado atrás
Siento luz
Agua tibia con viento suave sólo para mí
Mis pies descalzos sobre la tierra
Para despegar de aquí
Pensar en libertad
Dejar ir lo que no puedes cambiar
Callo con mi voz ruidos sin perdón
Limpia la verdad está dentro de mí
Sólo en mí
Fuego que escribió relatos en canción
Lágrimas que ya se han quedado atrás
Oh muy atrás
Ya no hay vacíos en mi camino
Siento luz
Agua tibia con viento suave sólo para mí
Mis pies descalzos sobre la tierra
Para despegar de aquí
Pensar en libertad
Dejar ir lo que no puedes cambiar
Sólo piensa en libertad
The lyrics of Chenoa's song Libertad describe the journey of someone who has found inner peace and freedom. The singer refers to an emotional and spiritual shelter that they have built for themselves, represented by an imaginary tree that they have nurtured and a soothing shade that they have sought. In this space, they have been able to overcome the pain caused by people who have left their lives but remain an essential part of their beliefs and values. The singer recognizes that they can't change the past, and so they focus on leaving behind what they can't alter and embracing the present with open arms.
The chorus of the song highlights the sense of liberation that the singer has comfortably found within themselves. They have reached a state where they no longer feel lost or incomplete, but instead, they feel a sense of clarity and purpose. The imagery used to describe this state is evocative, with the singer using the elements of nature to represent the tranquility they have experienced. They mention the warmth of the sun, the gentle breeze, and the grounding of their feet on the earth. Ultimately, the message of the song is one of acceptance and growth, with the singer embracing the freedom of thought, emotion, and action that comes from letting go of the past and finding peace within.
