María Felisa Martínez López, better known by her stage name Marifé de Triana, was a beloved Spanish flamenco singer and actress, hailing from the village of Burguillos, Seville. Born on September 13, 1936, she became one of the most iconic figures in the genre of 'copla', a traditional form of Spanish music. Her stage name, 'de Triana', refers to the famous Triana district in Seville, which is known as a cradle of flamenco culture.
Marifé de Triana's piercing voice and emotional depth propelled her to stardom in the 1950s and 1960s, fueling the immortal fame of hits such as "Torre de arena" and "María de la O". Her music has been remastered and reintroduced to contemporary audiences, ensuring that her legacy continues to resonate. Though she passed away on February 16, 2013, in Torremolinos, Málaga, her passionate interpretations and theatrical style keep her memory alive in the soul of Spanish music. Her albums, such as "Coplas del Guadalquivir" and "La Emperaora de la Copla", showcase the quintessence of Marifé de Triana's artistry and remain testaments to her enduring impact on the world of flamenco and copla.
