When I was around 15 years, meet Jos Maria Cano at a party, and from there, at the meetings did choirs to Jos, and together interpreted themes that l was composed. This beloved duo was joined with Nacho Cano and Ana became the lead vocalist of the trio Mecano, in 1981. This trio is characterized by its excellent compositions and the dazzling voice of Ana Torroja, who almost always played male roles in their songs with the group. This group presents in his discography nine amazing materials: "Mecano" 1982; "Where this fairy country?" in 1983; "Now comes the Sun" in 1984; "Mecano En Concierto" in 1985; "Between the sky and the ground" in 1986; "Descanso Dominical" in 1988; "Aidali" in 1991; "Ana |" Jos | Nacho"in 1998 and" Mecano discography "in 2005.

In 1990, Ana worked on two topics of the group "Dr. Livingstone", doing the backing vocals.

And in 1997, also introduced its first material called "Cardinal points", which broke singles artist as: "A contratiempo", "From" and "like dream of the sirens". That he managed to exploit its registry to try something in dance-funky and soak tensions with a nice cartoon in format of tongue twisters, goes on sale another CD with 4 versions remix of the song "as a dream of the sirens". In the most unexpected time, note the suspension of this last work, because of the fleeting return of Mecano in 1998, and this was how the disk was launched to the market "Ana |" Jos | Nacho".
