# La Factoría

La Factoría was a Panamanian group led by Marlen Romero, better known by her stage name Demphra. Initially the group was formed by Romero, Johanna Mendoza (Joysi Love), Edgardo Miranda (MC Joe) and Pablo Maestre (DJ Pablito). The latter three eventually left the group, and Demphra carried on for one more album.

## History

In 2001, Demphra joined Panama Music where she released her first solo album, La Willa Demphra. The disc was a complete success in her home country Panama, and including songs like “El Muslo”, “Tilin Tilin”, “Ush”, among others. After the success of this album, MC Joe, Goodfella, Joysi Love and DJ Pablito got together with Demphra, and La Factoría was formed.
The group quickly became a Latin American phenomenon, with hits like “Todavía”, “Que Me Maten”, among others earning La Factoría several awards and a Gold disc for more than 200,000 sales of their first CD in Central and South America. In 2004, La Factoría launched Más Allá, and the songs “No Lastimes Más” and “Ese Hombre es Mío” became huge hits in Latin America.
Two years later, DJ Pablito and MC Joe left the group. That same year La Factoría released Nuevas Metas. The album included smash hits like “Moriré”, “Dale”, “Como Me Duele” and the #1 single “Perdóname” featuring Eddy Lover. "Perdóname" became a huge hit, giving the group several awards including a Platinum Disc for 100,000 digital downloads of the track. In 2009, three years later, Joysi Love left the group. Demphra released a new self-titled album in 2010, under the group's name.
In 2013, Demphra left Panama Music, leaving the La Factoría trademark to the label, now using her stage name.
It was announced that the group would continue with new members.
