Remedios Amaya is a singer, gipsy and was born in Triana, mythic neighborhood in
Sevilla, full of basic roots of flamenco styles. Is then, a aristocrat of the flamenco;
in 1983 represented Spain in the Eurovisión Singing Contest with the song “¿Quién
maneja mi barca?” in Munich.

On her artistic career it could be distinguished 2 clarely different phases – two because of the singing styles. Her first albums (Luna nueva, 1983, and Seda en mi piel, 1984) were a obvious bet on the so-called flamenco-rock.

After 1997, by the hand of Vicente Amigo, started to do what she really wanted. The project is called Turu Turai (1997). She sold 150.000 copies. Other albums came after, with the same strength, same success and same quality. Without any doubt, Remedios Amaya is one of the most inspired singer in the past years. Is one of the best flamenco party style singer of our generation.

The “palos alegres” (happy poles – spanish expresion) that allows Remedios Amaya to take her genius out: “bulerías”, “tangos”, “alegrías”… but also dominates with facility other styles like “soleá” or “seguiriya”. She was one of the favorite singers to Camarón de la Isla, who she worked with many occasions.
