Gilda, whose real name was Miriam Alejandra Bianchi, was an iconic figure in Argentine music, renowned for her contributions to the cumbia genre. Born on October 11, 1961, in Buenos Aires, she started her career as a paraprofessional teacher and later transitioned into the world of music. Gilda’s passionate performances and distinctive voice quickly earned her a devoted following, and she became one of the biggest cumbia singers in Argentina.

Her life and career were tragically cut short when she died in a road accident on September 7, 1996, but her legacy lives on. Her most beloved songs, including "No me arrepiento de este amor," "Fuiste," and "Corazón valiente," continue to be celebrated by fans. Gilda’s status transcended that of a mere musical icon; she became a mystical figure for many, often revered as the "Saint of Cumbia" with a dedicated shrine in her honor where devotees seek miracles and pay homage. Her compelling storytelling through music, infused with themes of love, heartache, and joy, resonate with audiences even decades after her passing. The release of "25 Años," featuring live renditions of her classic hits, underscores the enduring appeal of Gilda's music and the emotional connection she established with her fans.
