Nacida en Linares (Jaén) ha conquistado por méritos propios un lugar privilegiado en el mundo del flamenco, convirtiéndose en una de las artistas más reclamadas y con más proyección internacional del cante actual. Su cante poderoso y autentico se enriquece con su conocimiento del arte flamenco y consigue emocionar de manera espontánea y sincera al público… Sin duda alguna el flamenco ha crecido con ella.


‘Cantaora’ is the title of one of Carmen Linares’ recordings because she is undoubtedly THE Cantaora of our age. Born in Linares (Jaen) she has earned a place of privilege in the flamenco world, having become one of the most internationally recognised and sought after artists.
Carmen was one of the first flamenco artists to perform in the Lincoln Centre, interpreting Falla’s ‘El Amor Brujo’ with the New York philharmonic orchestra. The New York Times critic defined her singing as ‘an extraordinary expressive power’.
Her authentic and powerful cante is enriched by her knowledge of the art of flamenco with which she moves the public in a spontaneous and sincere way…
Without doubt flamenco has grown with her.
