Lorna

1 Lorna Zarina Aponte born 1983 in Panama, better known simply as Lorna, is a female rapper and reggaeton artist, best known for her song "Papi Chulo Te Traigo el Mmmm". This song got wide spread popularity in US and Europe Reaching No. 1 in French music charts but also saw enormous success in countries like Turkey and especially in Pakistan.

At the age of 13, Lorna decided that she wanted to become a singer and solo artist and so she went to searching for - and found - a music producer and DJ who was willing to record a song with her on vocals. With help from this producer, she entered a talent competition for new singers organised in Panama City, which she won. This gave Lorna the opportunity to record a single. Soon after she was working with El Chombo, a renowned producer in Panama.

The Bilbao Fraud Incident: In 2005 Aponte was scheduled to appear at a festival in Bilbao called Zorrozaurre, but instead of her, the record company sent one of her backing singers, claiming that Lorna had decided to take a sabbatical due to health related issues. The backing singer also gave interviews under the impression of being Lorna Aponte. Rumours of her death started soon to appear.
