[1] In 1992, she enjoyed great success with her appearance in the soundtrack of Pedro Almodóvar's acclaimed film High Heels singing Agustín Lara's theme "Piensa en mí".

In January 2007, Luz Casal was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent an operation at the Ruber Clinic in Madrid,[2] seven months later, she revealed to the Spanish media that she had overcome her disease.

There she studied piano and ballet and formed part of a rock group called Los Fannys that made versions of other artist's songs.

[3] After that she took part in many festivals held in a lot of countries and took dance classes with Karen Taft, Arnold Taraborelli, Lindsay Kemp, Merche Esmeralda, and Goyo Montero.

That year she performed in a festival held in Czechoslovakia, with artists from other countries; Luz still remembers the impact of hearing "No aguanto más" and "Ciudad sin ley" (Lawless city) being played by an orchestra with wind instruments.

In 1987 she recorded an a capella song with the group 'The Christians' for a television program and in May of that year, her next album "Quiéreme aunque te duela" (Love me even if it hurts you), was launched, in which she started to be less of a rocker and discovered herself as a performer of ballads, which were the greatest hits of that release.

In 1988 she appeared in the TV program "Viaje con nosotros" (Travel with us), by Javier Gurruchaga (Lead singer of Orquesta Mondragón), and in a benefit gig in Seville, she performed a tango version of Quiereme aunque te duela.

In 1989 Luz Casal released with her new company, Hispavox, the album "V" produced by Paco Trinidad and Chucho Merchán, a regular collaborator with Eurythmics.

The album, which sold over 300,000 copies and was her definitive leap to stardom, includes two of the most important songs of her career: "Te Dejé Marchar" (I Let You Go) and "No Me Importa Nada" (Nothing Matters For Me).

In this album are the bolero "Piensa en mí" (Think Of Me), composed by Agustín Lara, and the song "Un año de amor" which were chosen by Pedro Almodóvar for his film Tacones Lejanos (High Heels).

Following that, Luz took a four-year break away from recording studies, a time when she started thinking about her career because of her success, but she kept on performing in Spain, Latin America, France and other European countries.

Two years later, she released another compilation album, only in France, "Luz Casal", that sold more than 400,000 copies and included two songs in French, "Tu Ne L'Emporteras Pas" and "Entre Mes Souvenirs".

This album includes "Negra Sombra" (Black Shadow), a poem by Rosalía de Castro, set to music by Juan Montes Capón, which was on the soundtrack to Mar Adentro, by Alejandro Amenábar.

[7] Having overcome breast cancer, on 12 October 2007 Luz released a new single "Se Feliz" (Be Happy) from her new album, Vida Tóxica (Toxic Life), inspired by her experience with chemotherapy.

The album was recorded and mixed in London once again, with Darren Allison and the same team of musicians who had performed on Como La Flor Prometida, with the addition of bass guitarist Pino Palladino.
