Singer, dancer and actress Lola Flores has been a living symbol of Spanish culture for some fifty years. Nicknamed La Pharaonne (The Pharaoh) because of her gypsy origins and her undisputed reign over flamenco, Lola Flores blends authenticity and popularization, giving flamenco a strong variety flavour. It was through her films that she unveiled her greatest hits, such as "Ay Pena, penita, pena", "La Zarzamora", "A tu vera" and "Torbellino de colores ". Unaffected by the changes in her popularity, Lola Flores appeared in numerous TV series and ended her career in the nineties as a TV presenter. Lola Flores died in Madrid on May 16, 1995.
