Malena Zavala

Argentinian-born, London-based artist, producer and filmmaker Malena Zavala crafts ethereal music between her Latin heritage and British upbringing. Her career is a testament to self-sufficient artistry: her acclaimed debut ‘Aliso’ (2018) was written, recorded, and produced alone in her parents’ garage, praised by The Guardian and leading to tours with Lord Huron and Men I Trust, plus performances at Latitude, Green Man, and All Points East. Her second album, ‘La Yarará’ (2020), saw her delve deeper into Latin traditions, solidifying her unique sound with support from BBC Radio 6 Music, Huw Stephens, and Steve Lamacq. Now, Zavala presents her most intimate and mature work to date with the forthcoming album ‘If This Life Could Start Again’ (Jan 2026), released on her own newly established label, Paraná Records. The album is a raw, transformative journey mapping the emotional landscape of healing. She will embark on an extensive UK/EU tour in February and March 2026.
