She made her debut in the tablaos of Jerez at thirteen and, at eighteen, joined Farruquito's company, taking part in Sonerías and in international tours. She has also worked with Joaquín Cortés and Diego del Morao. In 2018 she premiered El sonido de mis días, which earned her the Newcomer Award at the Festival de Jerez. Her career has been recognized with several accolades and stands out for a personal, free-spirited dance style deeply rooted in flamenco.

La Federación Local de Peñas Flamencas de Jerez
For more than half a century, it has brought together twelve organizations that make up one of the most important flamenco associative movements in Andalusia. Heir to the tradition that turned peñas into essential spaces for preserving and passing on arte jondo, its work focuses on strengthening the bond between the peñas of Jerez, supporting emerging artists, and preserving the authenticity of flamenco. The federation works closely with public institutions and cultural organizations, taking part in initiatives such as the De peña en peña del Festival de Jerez y respaldando la programación de los Viernes Flamencos. Presidida por Jesús López, impulsa recitales, concursos y actividades divulgativas que contribuyen a mantener vivo y proyectar el legado flamenco de Jerez.
Access to the hall will open 30 minutes before the start of the show.
