[2] Daughter of the Civil Guard Laureano Vello Álvarez and the laundress Benita Cano Rodríguez.

Soon, she became the star of the Teatro Lara, the Salón de Novedades and the Zarzuela in Madrid as well as the Príncipe Real theatre in Oporto.

With this song she trod the boards of London's Alhambra Theatre, the Olympia in Paris or the Palais Soleil in Montecarlo, even appearing in St Petersburg in 1909.

After the long European tour, King Alfonso XIII of Spain presided over one of her appearances at the Teatro de la Comedia.

Critics of the time wrote that she supplemented her a weak voice with good modulation and "exquisite low notes".
