Porta can refer to:
Christian Jiménez Bundo (born 2 July 1988 in Barcelona), known as "Porta", is a Spanish rapper. He became popular in 2006 through his huge success in social networks, with his demo No es cuestión de edades (2006) and No hay truco ( 2007), which were widely disseminated on the Internet, where he broke the record of downloads. Porta won greater popularity by releasing his first album En boca de tantos (2008). His third album Trastorno bipolar was released in 2009 but did not have the same sales success as his first LP because it did not have the same promotion. Both albums were released by Universal Music Label group. Over time, Porta had disagreements with his label and ended up resigning his contract on 24 August 2011. His previous work, Reset, was released on 7 May 2012 under the label PIAS Spain. After leaving the Universal Music label, his new album scored a number of sales and was welcomed by the public in a positive way and he gained more followers. His latest album Algo ha Cambiado was released on 10 June 2014 in physical format in Spain and in digital format (on iTunes) worldwide. No hay truco is Porta's most downloaded album. Porta has about 11 million followers on all his accounts online.
