about
Paquita Rico (Francisca Rico Martínez, Triana, Seville, Spain, 13 October 1929 - 9 July 2017) was a Spanish film actress and copla and sevillanas singer. She appeared in 30 films between 1948 and 1983. The copla, copla andaluza ("Andalusian copla"), tonadilla or canción folklórica is a form of Spanish popular song, close to flamenco and sevillanas, deriving from the poetic form of the same name. Although the genre has a long heritage, it flourished in the 1930s and 1940s. The lyrics often feature marginalized characters, including prostitutes, sailors, escaped convicts, gypsies and so on, and have themes based on the "illegitimacy of all relationships outside the recognized heterosexual marriage" (i.e., mistreated women, abandoned children and extramarital affairs).
