María Luisa Ramírez, known artistically as Maui. Born in Utrera (Sevilla), niece of the legendary Bambino and daughter of the guitarist and composer Miguel Ramirez (Los Centellas), she grew up in a purely flamenco environment around a pot of potaje (stew), a guitar, and a lot of rhythm. At age 18 she moved to Granada to study cello, and there began to collaborate with different groups. She formed her own group, Maui y Los Sirénidos, with whom she released three albums and received multiple awards, such as the 2009 UFI Award for best flamenco album. After a physical and spiritual move from her beloved Granada to Madrid, she published her first work as Maui, Viaje Interior. Unsatisfied with songs only, in 2016 she began his journey through the theatricalized flamenco, first with the show Soy una feria, and later in 2018 with Domingos de Vermut y Potaje, still on theatre billboards with notable success and visions of a long journey. In 2019, she released a new album Por Arte de Magía, a work full of strength and sensitivity in equal parts, with Fernando Illán Batutade in production, and landmark collaborations with the masterful verses of Chipi de La Canalla, the flute of the great Jorge Pardo, the voice of gitano musical wizard Antonio Carmona, and the singing and salt of the magician of compás, Tomasito. Sixteen years on the stage and five albums to her credit endorse Maui’s unique and successful career and delightful path. Far from any known label, it has been said of her that she is the Björk of Utrera, the Lady Gaga of flamenco, a diva of humor with rhythm, a singer-actress… but she is simply Maui, unique in her style, compositions, her curious aesthetics, and her magic on stage.
