She started her career as an actress, working in the theatre and in some of the most famous Spanish movies from the 1940 decade.
During the 1950s, she started singing professionaly, eventually abandoning her career as an actress in the 1960s. Since then, she has recorded more than 35 albums.
As a singer, she is specialized in traditional Spanish and Latin American music: bolero, copla, ballad, ronda, vals, and folk music (Peruvian, Argentinian, Mexican, and Venezuelan). Her voice tone is clear and slightly low, and she has an extremely proper Spanish pronunciation. She typically sings with the only company of guitars, requintos, and drums.
She singed for close to 30 years with the same group, Los Gemelos, formed by two twin brothers, Santiago López Hernández and Julián López Hernández, until the death of Santiago in the early 1990s.

No me importa en qué forma
Ni dónde ni cómo, pero junto a ti
Toda una vida te estaría mimando
Te estaría cuidando como cuido mi vida
Que la cuido por tí
Pero siempre, siempre
Que eres en mi vida
Ansiedad, angustia y desesperación
Toda una vida estaría contigo
No me importa en qué forma
Ni dónde ni cómo, pero junto a ti
No me cansaría de decirte siempre
Pero siempre, siempre
Que eres en mi vida
Ansiedad, angustia y desesperación
Toda una vida estaría contigo
No me importa en qué forma
Ni dónde ni cómo, pero junto a ti

La suerte que tenemos los hispanos es que cualquier compositor o cantante,sean del país que sean, hablamos la misma lengua. Tenemos los mismos gustos y sensibilidad para comprendernos . No importa de qué país seamos, todos somos hermanos y estamos unidos por muchas cosas......la música es una de ellas. Un saludo grande desde la Madre Patria .
