Yuri

Yuri, born Yuridia Valenzuela Canseco on January 6, 1964, is a renowned Mexican singer and actress hailing from Veracruz. Her artistic journey began at a young age, showing an early interest in performance. While accepted into a prestigious Russian ballet, her parents' concerns about her living abroad prevented her from pursuing this path.

By the age of 12, Yuri was a familiar face on Mexican television, participating in popular children's programs like the Cepillin show on Televisa. The late 1970s marked the release of her debut album and her first foray into international competition when she represented Mexico at the Festival Oti, securing second place and the award for best newcomer.
