La Emperatriz (English: The Empress) is the debut studio album by Spanish music act Rigoberta Bandini, released independently in October 2022 during an extended tour.

The album was released on 7 October 2022, with the last planned date of the tour at the Palau Sant Jordi on 24 November[2] (not including a Christmas concert on 23 December).

The four new songs are "Canciones de Amor a Ti", "Tú y Yo", "Que Vivir Sea un Jardín" and "La Emperatriz".

[3] The song "Tú y yo" was written when Ribó caught COVID-19 over Christmas when her son was six months old, and had to isolate without him.

[3] Though Rigoberta Bandini received several offers to sign with a record label, including some which Ribó described as "economically interesting", they preferred to have creative freedom and control, and released the album independently.
