Mayte Martin

From Spain

Probably the best female flamenco voice of her generation, she sings everything and sings it well. Her name will join the great ones who have preceded her in history. Very cerebral, she rationalises cante according to her capacities, which are great. Everything she offers is very well thought out and well done and she does it with such ease. However, her music transmits soul and raw emotion.

In summer 1987, she won the Lámpara Minera. Her first record "Muy frágil" is an example of splendid work, in which the singer harmonizes as to orthodox cante with rhythms that rise from her most imaginative and creative artistic facet.
