Thanks for posting, Rob. Reading this now... her story reminds me of Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Says she is from Granada where the Ciego guy is from. Anyone got her Sur name? Just curious.

Granada (Caniles then Albaicín)

Maria Esperanza Garcia Martinez , no flamenco family or culture, just small farmers, only grandfather and aunt liked some flamenco .

She made and sold "artenesania" and at 16 years old moved to France to pick straw. and gain money to purchase a car and finish studies and then Albaicín where she started to sing in the streets .
Started "Aitor y Maria" "Mundo Divino" and then solo (same time that Mundo Divino)

shes 32 years old right now.
