Spine tingling voice that smoulders with soul and

flamenco, jazz, and Cuban soul, as well as her own Afro-Spanish
heritage. Her throaty vocals cut deep then reach higher, testifying to
her unbounded approach to her music and her life. Lauded as
revolutionary in her native Spain she has moved beyond flamenco and
jazz and sold over 100,000 CDs as a result.
