Nina Pastori
Niña Pastori is one of the more accomplished cantaoras among the generation of young pop-flamenco singers to emerge around the turn of the century. She was born María Rosa García García on January 15, 1978, in San Fernando, a city in the province of Cádiz, Spain, and her mother is a successful flamenco singer, La Pastori. She began her career at a young age, often traveling and performing with her mother -- hence her performing name, Niña Pastori, a reference to her relationship to her well-known mother. Niña made her recording debut in 1996 with Entre Dos Puertos, which was produced by Paco Ortega and Alejandro Sanz, the latter Spain's best-selling artist ever. The album boasted a hit song, "Tú Me Camelas," and exhibited a pop-flamenco style targeted chiefly at teenagers. As Pastori would continue to do on subsequent albums, she interpreted songs of others, including Ortega and Sanz themselves. Henceforth Pastori followed with a new album roughly every two years -- Eres Luz (1998), Cañailla (2000), María (2002), No Hay Quinto Malo (2005), Joyas Prestadas (2006) -- and her style of music would grow progressively more mature as she and her audience aged. She's a regular recipient of Latin Grammy attention, with No Hay Quinto Malo winning a nomination in 2005 (Best Flamenco Album) and Joyas Prestadas in 2006 (Best Female Pop Vocal Album). In 2009, Pastori released her seventh album, Esperando Verte. Co-written entirely with her husband Chaboli, the album included the Top Five hit "Capricho de Mujer." 2011 saw Pastori deliver La Orilla de Mi Pelo, a collection of songs that flirted with pop and rock more than any of her previous albums. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Here's a tip. I you like Nina Pastori and you haven't already heard Buika, check her out. Buika is AMAZING... One of the most powerful singers I've ever seen. Right up there with Aretha Franklin, Celia Cruz and Sarah Vaughn... THAT GOOD....
