María José Llergo’s diverse musical training in classical violin, jazz, gospel, salsa, raga, and flamenco forms the foundation for her exploration of a hybrid sound. She blends her entire musical background into sophisticated pop and contemporary flamenco, creating a boundary-breaking experience. She released the Sanación EP in 2020. In 2022, Llergo won the Goya Award for Best Song for The Sea Awaits You, the title theme from the 2021 film Mediterráneo. Her second album, Ultrabelleza, was released in October 2023.

Llergo honors a genre of music that is more sincere about Spain’s history than most textbooks.
