This revealing moment didn’t just consolidate her position as a talented and versatile singer, it also represented the beginning of her professional career in the world of flamenco singing.


Since then, she has collaborated with many of the leading flamenco dance companies and has performed in a variety of top-level events from the International Monetary Fund in Washington to the prestigious Teatro Real in Madrid, not forgetting her performance alongside the great Rocio Jurado in her last television programme, Rocio Siempre.
