“Ever since I was able to think for myself I've been up on stage.” Born in Cadiz in 1983 Encarnita Anillo has flamenco in here viens. At just eleven years old she began with the Farruco Company, with whom she still tours. At 14 she made a name for herself at the 2000 Bienal de Flamenco playing a part in two highly acclaimed shows; ‘Metamorfosis’ by Israel Galván and ‘Colores’ by Rafael de Carmen, Rafaela Carrasco, Pepe de Pura.

Since then she has dedicated herself to "el cante" of flamenco. Now at 23 years old she has already worked with such greats like Belén Maya, Israel Galván, Chano Lobato, Alejandro Granados, Andrés Marín and Antonio Canales. These experiences have brought her the maturity to embark on her solo career gaining acclaim with performances in prestigious festivals in Barcelona and Madrid. She is currently working on her first album (produced by Miguel Poveda) to be released early next year.

"It's a very classical project... I'm selecting really traditional pieces. I've chosen things that had already been done and I've done them my way."

Contributing to this project are Diego del Morao, Chicuelo, Alfredo Lagos, Juan Requena, Juan Ramón Caro, Luis Cantarote, Carlos Grilo, Carmelilla Montoya, Farruquito, Farru, Diego Amador and her brother José Anillo.
