Paula Ribó González (born 30 April 1990), is a Spanish singer, actress and playwright best known for her musical project Rigoberta Bandini, for which she writes, performs, and produces the music. Ribó's multi-departmental professional career started at age seven, when she provided the Iberian Spanish dubbing voice work for the title character of the children animated series Caillou. She continued to work as a voice actress in both Catalan and Castilian for international firms such as Universal and Disney starring in big productions such as Peter Pan and Brave, as well as in film series like The Twilight Saga or The Divergent Series and musical films such as Les Misérables, Sing and Frozen. She also has been the regular Spanish-dubbed voice of Emma Stone, Dakota Fanning and Shailene Woodley.

After graduating Institut del Teatre, she ventured into the music scene in 2011 alongside two college friends with the formation The Mamzelles. They released two studio albums. In parallel to her contribution in film, Ribó created her own theatre production company, directed four plays, started in six, and wrote other four. She also starred in selected Catalan television films and series.

In 2019, Ribó launched her second musical project under the pseudonym Rigoberta Bandini. Her third single, "In Spain We Call It Soledad", released in 2020, became viral on Spotify and launched Bandini into stardom. She achieved national recognition in 2022 placing as the runner-up at the Benidorm Fest in the run to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song "Ay mamá", which became her first entry in and first number one song on the Spanish charts.
