Marianella Egui, born Marianela de Jesús on April 1, 1967, in the La Candelaria parish of Caracas, Venezuela, is a Venezuelan salsa singer and songwriter. Frequently referred to by the moniker "La rubia de la salsa" (The Blonde of Salsa), she became a notable pioneering female figure in the male-dominated romantic salsa genre during the late 1980s and 1990s.
Throughout her musical career, Marianella released projects including her self-titled album "Marianella" and "De Cuerpo Entero". Some of her most recognized songs within the romantic salsa style include "Amor Compartido" and "Quítame ese hombre". She took an 18-year hiatus from the music industry to raise her three children—Ligianella, Luis David, and Luisana—before eventually returning to celebrate over 30 years in the music business.
