she appeared in Barcelona in 1929 with a variety show named 'La copla
andaluza', where she was the first star together with 'Ángel Sampedro
'Angelillo''. From that moment on she enjoyed success all over Spain,
Europe and America. As a cinema actress she made many folkloric
musicals, including _Suspiros de España (1938)_ and _Maja del capote, La (1943)_.
