User:Starfarmer/Martirio

Martirio (Martyr in English) is a performing persona and stage name of Maribel Quiñones (born 1954 in Huelva, Spain as María Isabel Quiñones Gutiérrez). Quiñones created the character in the mid-eighties, after being a member of the protest folk group Jarcha.

She borrows her style and inspiration from flamenco that she adapts or merge with more modern musical trends, especially jazz and tango but also pop, rock, swing and guaracha, in this sense, she can properly be ranked as a New Flamenco artist.

She is also noted for a distinctive look (wearing large sunglasses).

Quiñones, as Martirio, is sometimes accompanied by her son Raúl Rodríguez, who is a guitarist, composer and producer. She has also worked with jazz artists Chano Domínguez, Jerry Gonzalez and Jesús Lavilla.
