María José Llergo
One of the most prominent voices in contemporary flamenco
María José Llergo (Pozoblanco, 1994) studied violin until the age of eighteen in Córdoba. It was there that she came to have a great love of the countryside and where her grandfather showed her the music of the great flamenco and bolero singer-songwriters, while he worked the land. She currently lives in Barcelona, where she studies at the Catalan College of Music. Llergo’s lyrics are a blend of modernity and tradition, as she signs about love, sadness and incomprehension with an honesty that is reminiscent of generations of singers gone by.
