Lorna Zarina Aponte (born May 11, 1983), better known simply as Lorna, is a Panamanian rapper. She best known for her song "Papi chulo... (te traigo el mmmm...)", which was a success debuting on the charts of France (#1), Italy (#2) and Belgium (#4).[1]

At the age of 19, Aponte decided that she wanted to become a singer and solo artist and so she went searching for, and found, a music producer and DJ who was willing to record a song. With help from this producer, she entered a talent competition for new singers organised in Panama City which she won. This gave Aponte the opportunity to record a single. Soon after, she was working with El Chombo, a producer in Panama. In 2005, Aponte was scheduled to appear at a festival in Bilbao called Zorrozaurre, but instead of her, the record company sent one of her backing singers claiming that Lorna had decided to take a sabbatical due to health related issues. The backing singer also gave interviews under the impression of being Aponte.[2]
