She was born in Barcelona in 1913. Of gypsy blood, she made her debut accompanied by her father, the flamenco guitarist José Amaya "El Chino" in the Teatro Español Theatre in Barcelona when she was only four years old. From that time on she began to earn a living dancing in bars and taverns. In 1929, together with her aunt Juana 'la Faraona' and her cousin María, she set up the Trío Amaya, with which she performed in Paris. From 1935 she embarked on several tours of all the main American and European venues. She performed in various theatres in Madrid, including the Coliseum and La Zarzuela theatre, in shows by other artists such as Concha Piquer. Her skill was also immortalised in films such as 'Los Tarantos' (Alfredo Mañas, 1962). She died in Bagur (Girona) in 1963.
