These impossibly photogenic twin sisters from Cuba spent their childhood singing together and studying music at Havana's prestigious Instituto Superior de Arte. After graduating in 2002, Angelica and Annelis Suarez tried their hand at jazz, performing under the name Angelisa -- a conflation of their first names. They released one album, but it wasn't until they joined forces with producer Paco Ortega that they seemed to get more traction. Under Ortega's influence, the sisters underwent a radical shift. Their repertoire has returned to classic Cuban songs, and they even have a new name: las Melli. But don't expect to hear Buena Vista Social Club-style nostalgia; these rock and R&B-influenced tracks would sound right at home on a Peter Gabriel album.
