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.

En silencio el corazón dice y suspira
Vaya con Dios, mi vida
Vaya con Dios, mi amor
Las campanas de la iglesia suenan tristes
Y parece que al sonar también me dicen
Vaya con Dios, mi vida
Vaya con Dios, mi amor
En sueños siempre junto a ti estaré
Mi voz escucharás dulce amor mío
Pensando como yo estarás
Volvernos siempre a ver
La alborada al despertar feliz te espera
Y en tu corazón yo voy a donde quiera
Vaya con Dios mi vida
Vaya con Dios mi amor
Vaya con Dios, mi vida
Vaya con Dios, mi amor
