Inma “La Carbonera”, born as María Concepción Jacquot, was raised in Seville, in the famous neighborhood of Las Tres Mil Viviendas, surrounded by the very same flamenco that had already captivated her parents, amateur singers that passed the art of singing flamenco to their children.
Ever since she was little, she has sang for the choir of her school and high school, ending up in a church choir that took her to different concerts and even the recording of several albums, which led her to more albums with artists such as Paco Candela; rising stars in the world of flamenco.
As an amateur artist, she sang with her brother in different bars and restaurants in Seville, such as La Sonata or Pata Negra, where the professional guitarists she sang with encouraged her to take her flamenco singing to a more professional level.
She is known as “La Carbonera” due to the time she spent working at La Carbonería, a traditional flamenco spot in Seville, where she spent two years refining her singing and looking for her own voice within flamenco, resulting in a style unique and personal to her that connects both tradition and innovation.
She continued her career sharing a stage with different artists, such as Juan el cama, Raúl el Perla, La Tana, Rafael Camarón, Maite Martín and Miguel Poveda, up until 2005, when she joined the María Serrano artistic group, that brought shows such as Carmen or Flamentango to Europe, Asia, or Latin America. When their tour ended, Inma joined the artist Falete in the Amar Duele tour, performing in over 70 concerts through Spain.
Since then she has performed for Canal Sur, sang in albums for Pepe el Marismeño or Alicia Gil, has participated in groups formed by Amador Rojas and Roberto Olivan, and has sang in the show “A contratiempo” de Paco Escobar.
La Carbonera has also performed at the Flamenco Theatre in Seville, the Festival de Jerez, has recreated flamenco clasics in her albums such as “La bien pagá” or “Aires de Alameda” and nowadays performs in different tablaos for Flamenco, such as the one we have in La Casa del Flamenco.
