Thanks for talking with us today, La Negra Mayte…
When did your passion for singing really ignite?””
My passion for music comes from a very young age. My ?rst recording was at 3 years old and I professionally recorded my ?rst album in London at the age of 16. I can say that it was quite clear that I wanted to dedicate my life to music.
How long have you been singing at weddings on the Costa del Sol, and what can you offer to make the ceremony extra special and/or the party go off with a bang?
I can say that I have had the privilege and luck to work at a wide variety of events, but I must confess that weddings are the most emotional and special event of all. I can almost remember every wedding that I have ever sung at, and there is always something unique that differentiates them. I try to help the bridal couple however I can; for example to choose what song they would like on their walk up the aisle, or their ?rst dance, basically ensuring the music will always remind them of this unforgettable day.
What is your favourite singing style for a wedding?”’
I have an extensive repertoire with a wide variety of styles. I love all jazz, soul and funk classics, and I research and update my list with the most requested songs. Although the bride and groom always have the last word, of course!
