Description
Salvadora Galan is a singer/guitarist born in Olvera, a small town near Ronda in Cadiz, Spain. At the age of nine she moved with her family to Utrera, Seville. Salvadora grew up in a family where flamenco was a way of life. Her father was a singer; her brother, now retired, was a very well-known dancer in Utrera who performed in the Carmen Amaya movie Los Tarantos. By the age of 13, Salvadora had won her first flamenco singing competition. At 17, Salvadora began her professional singing career, traveling throughout Spain and Portugal, and working with flamenco icons La Fernanda and Bernarda de Utrera. Salvadora has also performed throughout Mexico and the US with the Maria Benitez, Susana de Palma, and Jose Molina companies. Salvador’s unique talent begins with the fact that she not only sings flamenco, but also accompanies herself on the guitar—extremely rare in the flamenco world, and unheard-of for a female artist.More Info
