Fanny Lu, Colombian music’s latest newcomer brings a blend of Latin sounds that fuse Caribbean music, Merengue, Vallenato and pop.  She was born in Cali and began her performing career back in 1994 as host of a television show in her native Colombia.  Even though her love for music flourished at a very early age, it was only after she worked as a TV actress and producer, as well as radio broadcaster, that she decided to take on her first musical project in 2005, titled “Lagrimas Calidas”.  The album was produced by Andres Múnera and José Gaviria, who have participated in productions for stars such as Olga Tañón, Carlos Santana, Ricardo Montaner, David Bisbal, Noelia, Diego Torres and Cristian Castro. 

Fanny Lu, who wrote “Es por ti” and “Lágrimas Cálidas” in this new album, worked with renowned music industry professionals including Luis Manuel Díaz, a cuban musician who was also involved in the musical careers of JD Natasha, Pablo Montero, José José and Gil Magno, renowned singing professor, and Argentinean singer-songwriter Cesar Franco.

“Lágrimas Cálidas” was recorded at Crescent Moon Studios under the Universal Music label with the participation of prestigious musicians, among them Tobby Tobón, Juanes' band Director,  Andrés Castro, producer and guitar player for Carlos Vives, Egidio Cuadrado and Andrés Rosado on the accordions, both musicians with Carlos Vives and la Provincia, Teddy Mollet from Gloria Estefan’s group on the trombones, who is now a member of Justin Timberlake’s music band, and finally Richard Bravo on the drums, who has worked in the past with Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin and Cristian Castro, among others.

Fanny Lu’s new musical production has taken Latin America by storm.  Her single "No te pido flores" has crossed borders as the theme song of the popular drama series "Amores Cruzados”, released for the first time in Mexico on TV Azteca on April 17th.  In addition, it became the number one song for five weeks on the top lists of Colombian radio stations, and has also reached first position in Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. 

Fanny Lu’s success continues in 2006, recognized with a Gold Mobile Award, granted  by Universal Music and Ideas Comcel thanks to her successful hit "No te pido flores", which was downloaded over 30 thousand times as a ring tone for cell phones marking the first time a Colombian artist receives this recognition.  She also won the “Quinde de Oro” at the Sun Festival in Quito, Ecuador, and Universal Music Colombia gave her a golden record for the sales achieved from her album “Lagrimas Calidas”.

This year Fanny Lu also stood out as a guest at the White House celebration of Colombian Independence Day, where she had the opportunity to represent the beauty and talent of Latin women, making her an ideal Latin American ambassador.  She is currently preparing the upcoming release of her album in the United States.
