Encyclopedia > Alejandra Guzman

Alejandra Guzm n is a Mexican singer and actress, the daughter of Mexican actress Silvia Pinal and Venezuelan rock and roll singer Enrique Guzm n. After traveling with her mother's theater troupe, Guzm recorded her debut album in Bye Mama after deciding she wanted to focus on singing. She has had an extremely enthusiastic and dedicated fanbase throughout Latin America in the late 1980s and 1990s. Her latest album is Algo Natural released in 1999.


In 1991, she gave birth to her only daughter Frida, named after Frida Kahlo. Later in 2000 she married a German businessman who was soon convicted of a crime in the United States, they divorced shortly after.


Despite being constantly harassed by paparazzi and being in the middle of multiple controversies, Guzman still remains relatively accessible to her fans, and she signs autographs for them whenever she can. One of these such controversies occurred in April 2003 when Guzm n suffered a miscarriage. She blamed the media for the tragic ending of her pregnancy.


While Guzman has been dubbed since the beginnings of her career "The Queen of Rock and Roll" by both mainstream media and fans, all-rock media have shown rejection at this title, therefore no radio stations devoted to rock music play her songs and written rock media such as magazines rarely write about her, and then only to mock her "queen" status.
