Abencia Meza

**Abencia Meza** is a celebrated Peruvian folk singer and cultural icon known for her vibrant contributions to *música criolla* and Andean folk traditions. Hailing from Peru, her powerful voice and spirited performances have made her a beloved figure in Latin American music since the late 20th century. Often dubbed *"La Auténtica Parrandera"* (The Authentic Party-Goer), her songs—like the anthemic *"Mujer Coraje"* and heartfelt *"Has Cambiado Mi Vida"*—blend traditional rhythms like *vals criollo* and *marinera* with themes of love, resilience, and social justice. A fierce advocate for preserving Peru’s musical heritage, Meza’s raw energy and connection to her roots have cemented her legacy as a trailblazer for women in folk music. Her recent releases, including *"Abencia Meza, Justicia!: La Auténtica Parrandera"*, continue to showcase her signature blend of fiery passion and storytelling.
