La Chana

Autodidact dancer, Antonia Santiago Amador, better known as La Chana, is 67 years old and lives a quiet life in Catalonia. In between 1960 and 1970, she was one of the biggest stars in the flamenco world, mesmerising due to her imaginative style, speed and creative use of rhythm. Peter Sellers, with who she appears in The Bobo (1967), invited her to Hollywood. Out of nowhere, in the peak of her career, she disappears from the scene.
