The local council of Villanueva de la Cañada has expressed profound sorrow following the death of Helena Bianco, a resident known for her extensive career as a singer and her significant contributions to the cultural life of the municipality. Mayor Luis Partida, on behalf of the Municipal Corporation, conveyed his condolences to her closest relatives.
“We deeply feel the loss of Helena Bianco, a great artist and a wonderful woman, of whom we have always been very proud in Villanueva de la Cañada. Our condolences to her family and friends, as well as to all her professional colleagues,” stated the mayor.
Beyond her artistic achievements, Bianco will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and commitment to Villanueva de la Cañada, a town she was closely connected to and where she earned the affection of those who had the opportunity to know her and enjoy her voice.
Bianco performed on numerous occasions in Villanueva de la Cañada, and in 2023, she presented her autobiographical book Entre el cielo y el suelo, which revealed anecdotes and experiences from her artistic and personal journey. In 2025, she was awarded the Equality Prize by the town council, recognising her dedication to promoting equal opportunities, her determination to overcome challenges, and her commitment to others.
