Anabel Conde

Ana Isabel "Anabel" Conde Sánchez (born June 16, 1975 in Fuengirola, Málaga) is a Spanish singer.

She was chosen by TVE to represent Spain in Eurovision Song Contest 1995, on May 13 in Dublin, (Ireland). Anabel performed the song Vuelve conmigo, written by Jose María Purón, finishing in second place after the Norwegian entry. It has been the best position of this country in Eurovision in 16 years. Anabel Conde received 119 points.

Unfortunately, after her big success in Eurovision 1995, Anabel withdrew from the profession because of troubles with the "Jercar" company, her record label. However, the town of Fuengirola built a square in her honour.

In 2005, she returned to Eurovision as a backing singer for the Andorran entry Marian van de Wal. The next year, she tried with her sister Cristina to enter for Poland, but failed.

Her cousin, Cristie is also a singer who became popular through the reality TV-show Operación Triunfo.

In 2010 she submitted a song to "Tu país te necesita", the Spanish method of picking a song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. The song is called "Sin Miedos"
