Concha Piquer, born María Concepción Piquer López on December 13, 1908, in Valencia, Spain, was a renowned singer and actress primarily celebrated for her contributions to the copla genre—a form of Spanish popular song. Often referred to simply as "Concha," her distinctive voice and emotive performances resonated deeply with audiences, making her one of the most prominent figures in Spanish music during the 20th century.

From her early beginnings in the entertainment industry, Piquer's career took off after moving to Argentina as a teenager, where she worked in theater and cinema. However, it was upon her return to Spain that she truly became a national icon, with hits like "Ojos Verdes," "Tatuaje," and "La Lirio" becoming staples of the copla repertoire. She graced the stage and the big screen alike, appearing in films that often featured themes related to the songs she performed. Though she passed away on December 12, 1990, Concha Piquer's legacy has endured, with remastered versions of her classics such as "A la lima y al limón" and "Los Piconeros" allowing new generations to appreciate her artistry. Known as the 'Reina de la Copla' or 'Queen of Copla,' Piquer's music remains a deeply ingrained part of Spain's cultural heritage.
