Yolanda Ventura (born 21 October 1968, in Barcelona, Spain) is a dual nationality Spanish/Mexican actress and was a Spanish singer when she was young . She is best known for roles in Mexican telenovelas and is a former member of the Spanish children's music band Parchís. She joined Parchís after a recording company posted an advertisement looking for kids who could sing, dance, and act. A few months later, in 1979, the band was formed and named after the Spanish version of the Pachisi board game. The band was a success in Spain and Latin America, they recorded five albums and filmed seven movies (three in Argentina).
