La Factoría

Panamanian group led by Demphra with Latin American hits.

Last updated

La Factoría brought together Panamanian talents under the leadership of Marlen Romero, who performs as Demphra. The group originally included Romero, Johanna Mendoza (Joysi Love), Edgardo Miranda (MC Joe), and Pablo Maestre (DJ Pablito). They gained fame across Latin America with chart-topping songs and multiple awards.

History

Demphra started her solo run in 2001 after joining Panama Music and releasing La Willa Demphra. That album became a major success in Panama, with popular cuts like “El Muslo,” “Tilin Tilin,” and “Ush.” Following that achievement, she formed La Factoría alongside MC Joe, Goodfella, Joysi Love, and DJ Pablito. The group quickly turned into a Latin American sensation, scoring hits such as “Todavía” and “Que Me Maten,” which brought them several awards and a Gold disc for selling over 200,000 copies of their first CD across Central and South America.

In 2004 they put out Más Allá, and the tracks “No Lastimes Más” and “Ese Hombre es Mío” became huge in Latin America. Two years later, DJ Pablito and MC Joe left the group. That same year La Factoría released Nuevas Metas, which included smash hits “Moriré,” “Dale,” “Como Me Duele,” and the number one single “Perdóname” featuring Eddy Lover. “Perdóname” earned a Platinum Disc for 100,000 digital downloads.

Joysi Love left in 2009. Demphra released a self-titled album under the group’s name in 2010. In 2013 she left Panama Music, leaving the La Factoría trademark with the label and continuing under her stage name. The group was announced to continue with new members.
