Flamenco singer Maria Mezcle was born in Sanlúcar de Barrameda. She is the great granddaughter of El Mezcle and a descendant of María Vargas, one of Sanlúcar’s greatest singers.
María Mezcle was immersed in flamenco at a young age. At 6 she started to dance, but she soon realized that flamenco singing was really her calling. At 11, she won her first flamenco song contest and started touring the flamenco clubs, guided by flamenco dancer Domingo Rosado with whom he took her first steps as a singer.
María Mezcle learned the classic flamenco styles of Cadiz and Seville and received a degree in Music Education.
In 2010 she released her first album, María Mezcle, produced by guitar maestro Gerardo Núñez. On this recording, María showcases the singing styles of Cadiz province: Sanlúcar, Jerez and Los Puertos (the ports).
Since then, she has collaborated with great flamenco artists such as Miguel Poveda and José Mercé and has won several national flamenco awards.
María Mezcle has toured the world as a singer with the National Ballet of Spain’s “Sorolla” show. In 2015 she released her second album titled Desnuda (Naked).
María is currently based in Madrid, where she teaches at the renowned Amor de Dios School and participates at flamenco jams.
