History
In 2019, Paula Ribó, who had been a member of the Mamzelles in the 2010s and dubbed many musicals into Spanish and Catalan, launched her solo music career under the stage name of Rigoberta Bandini. The name combines those of human rights activist Rigoberta Menchú and the John Fante character Arturo Bandini.
Ribó began releasing music as Rigoberta Bandini in 2020, which she, Navarro, and the Barenys siblings had recorded. That year, Rigoberta Bandini (still principally identified as Ribó as a solo act) rose to prominence in Spain when the singles "Too Many Drugs" and "In Spain We Call It Soledad" went viral. The group began performing together in 2021. The first live performance as a group was a selection of their songs recorded for a live-at-home concert from the Thyssen Museum in December 2020, after which they began touring. They found further success with the song "Ay mamá", with which they competed in the inaugural Benidorm Fest.
Style
The music of Rigoberta Bandini draws on many feminist influences, heard overtly in "Perra" and "Ay mamá". Ribó has said that, in her songwriting, she enjoys lyrics that have humour and entertain her.
