Malena Zavala

Malena Zavala is an Argentinian-British singer, songwriter, and producer known for her dreamy blend of Latin rhythms, psychedelia, indie rock, and ambient pop. Drawing from her multicultural background, Zavala crafts music that’s both intimate and expansive, often weaving Spanish and English lyrics into her songs. Her rich, atmospheric sound is shaped by influences ranging from traditional South American folk to artists like Devendra Banhart and Pink Floyd.

Zavala's debut album, Aliso, released in 2018, was praised for its lush production and emotional depth, offering a unique perspective on identity, migration, and connection. She followed up with La Yarará in 2020, an exploration of her Latin American heritage that introduced vibrant percussion, cumbia grooves, and folkloric storytelling to her evolving sonic palette. With songs like “Pasos de la Luna” and “MELT,” Zavala continues to carve out a genre-defying space that’s as soulful as it is sonically adventurous.
