Rocio Jurado

Spanish singer/actress Rocío Jurado began performing flamenco at a very young age, debuting on the big screen in 1962 with Los Guerrilleros, acting alongside Manolo Escobar. She commenced playing a main role in 1966's Proceso a una Estrella and 1971's Una Chica Casi Decente. While temporarily living in Argentina, the Spanish diva successfully participated in a musical called La Zapatera Prodigiosa, based on Federico García Lorca's work. After teaming up with composer Manuel Alejandro, Jurado became a major number on the Latin music scene, becoming acclaimed throughout America and Spain after releasing "Muera el Amor" and "Senora," among other hits. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
