“Aindomitable spirit, an overwhelming personality, a strong and courageous woman who fought against all odds beyond imagination”. Maria Jimenezas described by his own son in the statement in which he communicated the death of the Sevillian artist. “She worked tirelessly to leave a musical legacy and an imprint against gender violence that he defended day by day”, he points out in this writing, and he made a show of it in his interview with Cristina Pardo in December 2020.

Against sexist violence

The singer transmitted in ‘Liarla Pardo‘ a message of hope and courage to women victims of sexist violenceencouraging them to denounce the “first cry”. “After that, one can’t stand a half, not a quarter,” she assured, as we can see in the main video of this news. “Don’t forgive the crying, that (the abusers) disguise themselves very well as lambs and they are wolves and they give you a claw when you don’t realize it.”

His anecdotes with Juan Carlos I

In this same program, María Jiménez told an amusing anecdote, with the sense of humor that characterized her, with the king emeritus. “He invited Pepe and me to the Royal House and one of the times he took my arm and took me around all the Moro gardens and I called my husband, but he didn’t listen to me. In the end I was able to let go of the rey (…) “When we went downstairs I asked Pepe why he hadn’t given me a hand, he said: ‘How am I going to tell the king to leave my wife and let go of her?’ to which I replied that he could have done something more discreet.” “What a hard time the king gave me! The hands were pliers.”

This is how he received the Odeón flamenco award

In March 2021, the artist was awarded the Odeón flamenco prize and received it with a hilarious speech. “Thank you for giving me this wonderful methacrylate award. I can make a beautiful little lamp out of it.”

His “crush” on Wyoming

In a chat with Thais Villas, María Jiménez once again displayed her sense of humor and recognized that she was “in love” with The Greater Wyoming. “I see ‘El Intermedio’ every day and their straps make me outrageouss. My blood pressure rises”, he assured, and added: “I would wait for him and his suspenders in bed.” The presenter of the program did not hesitate to answer him. “She is a unique artist, because of her talent and because she is the only one in the world that he finds me attractive”… and also, he dedicated a ‘striptease’ to him.
