THE PRINCESSS IN THE LAND OF BIRDS

She was born to sing. Very few people are gifted with such an expressive voice from such a young age. And this doesn't necessarily happen just because you've been living and breathing arte jondo (the "deep art" of flamenco) all your life. Rather, it is a natural talent that has made Estrella deserving of some of the best critiques in our country. She has become a point of reference and is one of today's most popular cantaoras (flamenco singers). Estrella seems to move people with her cante (flamenco singing) and astound them with her strong stage presence, "singing with her entire body". Her voice is hard to describe, but it has the ability to make any musical style she sets out to try sound simply divine. Although strongly influenced by her father's art, Estrella likes to add her own personal touch: fados, coplas, sevillanas, blues, jazz.

Her album, Mi cante y un poema (My Song and a Poem), proves that her true talent lies in cante (flamenco singing). Her cante is triumphant and has captivated flamenco lovers everywhere.

"My father said, 'go ahead, sing flamenco' and I followed his advice. I knew it was my calling and my destiny to become a 'cantaora'."

On stage, she is a phenomenal artist, full of beauty, perfectly in tune, and imbued with the spirit flamenco artists call duende, a spirit that reaches her through everyone around her: the people in her neighborhood, her father, her mother and her grandmother. Today, she has become a major figure in cante flamenco. This is how Miguel Mora described her in El País: The princess in the land of birds.
