(From the link earlier in the thread).
Perteneciente a la casa de Los Sordera, su cante era adorado por su familia y por los aficionados que tuvieron la oportunidad de escucharla hasta el punto que, según cuenta José Maria Castaño en su libro 'De Jerez y sus cantes', el propio José Monge Cruz 'Camarón de la Isla' se enamoró de la voz de Tía María Bala y no quería salir de la casa de Los Sordera en Madrid ni para ir al tablao.
Belonging to the Sordera clan, her cante was adored by her family and by the aficionados that had the chance to listen to her, so much so that, according to José Maria Castaño in his book, "Of Jerez and its cantes", José Monge Cruz 'Camarón de la Isla' himself loved the voice of Tía María Bala so much that he didn't want to leave the Sordera house in Madrid not even to go to the tablao.
Terrible translation, I know, but probably marginally better than nothing.
She sings the saeta to end all saetas on Saura's "Flamenco Flamenco": "Eres bonita y Jerezana, y eres la madre de dios…" If you haven't heard it… it'll knock you to your knees. I don't know of any other recordings.
