Remedios Amaya is an expressive flamenco singer (cantaora) from Seville. She was born in 1962 in Triana neighbourhood and began singing as a child in flamenco clubs (tablaos) in Seville. It is believed that she was a close friend and muse to Camarón de la Isla having inspired him more than any other artist over the years, which is why she is known as La Camarona de Triana (The She-Camarón from Triana).
