Perlita de Huelva, whose real name is Pilar Arcos Santiago, is a revered figure in the folk music community of Spain, particularly known for her evocative performances of the fandango, a traditional Andalusian musical genre. Born on December 18, 1936, in Huelva, Andalusia, she has nurtured a deep connection with her roots, which is evident in her music and stage name, 'Perlita', a diminutive endearment reflecting her stature in her native community.

Throughout her career, Perlita de Huelva has been an ambassador of Andalusian music, sharing its spirited rhythms and passionate lyrics with audiences far and wide. Her discography is steeped in the soul of southern Spain, with recent releases like "Fandangos," "Asi se Canta el Fandango," and "Nuevos Fandangos" showcasing her mastery and dedication to preserving the traditional soundscapes of her homeland. Deeply personal tracks such as "Quiero Olvidar" and "La Golondrina" highlight her emotive vocal delivery, while "Amaranto," "Amigo Conductor," and "De Andalucía Yo Soy" pay homage to the rich cultural tapestry from which her music is woven. With her latest offering, "Aquí estoy de nuevo," Perlita assures her audience that her journey in music continues with the same fervor that has captured the hearts of traditional music lovers for decades.
