The beginnings and career of Sonia Cortés: from childhood to international stage

The start of Sonia Cortes’s career in flamenco goes back to her childhood in Andalusia where, from a very young age, she showed interest in the art of flamenco. Born into a family where flamenco formed part of daily life, Sonia grew up listening to flamenco and absorbing the rhythms and melodies that constantly sounded at home. From her first years, she showed an innate connection with flamenco music and song and has kept recordings of herself singing with her father from around 3 years of age. 

Her formal training began with dance studies at the Madrid Dance Conservatory where she completed studies in technique and expression in flamenco dance.This experience not only strengthened her movement skills, it also enriched her understanding of rhythm and the musical structure of flamenco, complementing her growing passion for flamenco song.

The turning point in her profession arrived unexpectedly during a dance performance, when she took over the singer’s role in the absence of the designated artist. 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.
